Description Luciano Montanaro 2010-04-11 18:02:42 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The simple menu can show a combination of "Name" and "Description" to select the program to be executed.

In the current version of the applet, the description and name fields are inverted, so if one selects name only, he gets the description and viceversa.

As an aside, it's confusing that the description is taken from the "GenericName" .desktop field, that got me confused about the cause of the odd behaviour.

Fix for the problem

This patch inverts the role of text and name in the compositing of the menu, apparently the title and subtitle got switched some time ago.

Isn't this bug only with the games sub menu?
Comment 3 Luciano Montanaro 2010-04-11 18:33:41 UTC 
Christoph, you are right. So what is actually going on here?
Comment 4 Christoph Feck 2010-04-11 18:54:08 UTC 
Aaron decided it is better to have descriptions instead of names for games. Please add your rant at the duplicate :)
