In KDE 4.6 beta2 this bug fixed when porting this patch to a branch 4.5.х?
yes indeed in kde 4.6.40 (4.7 >= 20101222)i cannot reproduce the bug. but in kde-4.5.4 i can reproduce. i am now compiling kde-4.5.5 i will reply again informing you if the bug is fixed.
The commit is only in 4.6 branch. And the favorites menu is not fixed yet.
What is wrong with the favourites menu?
Try adding "KNetWalk" to the Favorites menu. Even when set to "Names only", the Favorites menu (in classic mode) says "Network Construction Game", which clearly is the description instead of the name. Same for non-games, too, such as "Virtual Keyboard" instead of just "xvkbd". It also seems to use the .desktop file name, I get "konqbrowser" instead of "Konqueror".
I noticed another bug with the mixed up items, this time in the setup menu Classic Menu Launcher. See new screenshots. KDE 4.6.95

From what I can see, the commit for bug 249501 fixed the issue mentioned in comment #17 (at least for my usecase of only showing names). If you are still seeing name/description problems with KDE 4.7.3, please add a comment or reopen.
