Great, I'll make a patch.

You got me wrong here: I do not have sufficient English knowledge to
discuss the best forms for the widgets with the HIG team or with you.

What bugs me now, is that the visual guide, which I have been using so
far, says something, and the script says the opposite. I get dozens of
errors, and I don't know what to do. I don't think that something taken
from the visual guide can be considered "wrong". If someone has a
different opinion, fine to me, but please change the visual guide first,
so I'll know what to do. BTW, the visual guide really helps poor English
speakers like me :)

My suggestion would be to take all the widget names than appear in the
visual guide of the search *for now*.

Here is a patch that correct the to-do, remove some controversial choices, 
remove some duplications, fix cases.

Cheers,

Carlos Woelz
