KDesktop links

Hey,
I was just going over stuff in preparation for Sunday and noticed this :
1) on kdesktop create a link to some application,
2) in the properties section of that link set both description and
comment fields,
3) hover over the created icon: popup shows :
a) type,
b) size,
c) modified,
d) owner,
e) permissions.
Enough to say that neither of these makes really any sense for desktop
links (they will be the same for all in almost all cases). What should
be shown is of course either the comment or description.
Also while talking to Danimo he pointed out that also if one sets text
under icon for an application, sets it back and then changes the system
defaults, the application won't care and this is semantically flawed
since there is no "default" action (like for other stuff).
