           Summary: Change the displayed name in the traditional kickoff
                    KDE3 style menu
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: widget-kickoff
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mail dipe org


Version:           Kickoff traditional menu (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

At the moment the traditional kickoff KDE3 style menu does only display the description of an application.

This has a few drawbacks like;
1. it's not easy to figure out what application will start since the only indicator is the description and the icon but not the name it may known under. For some who look for a "Web Browser" it may easier, for some who look for "Firefox" it just sucks.
2. multiple items may have the same name. As example 2 times "Web Browser", one for Konqueror and one for Firefox. Other samples here are "Audio Player", "Spreadsheet" or "Word Processor". All that cases assume there is only one of them available.

There is more feedback from our users related to that wish at http://dot.kde.org/1199623673/1199632046/1199646383/
