Hmm, to me this still sounds like forcing developer slang on users. As
if you had something like "wpwin.exe" (or WPwin) in the Windows start
menu and only a tooltip is telling users that this means "Corel
WordPerfect for Windows". 

For normal apps the scheme is fine. But no user should have to solve
riddles when looking for basic system functionality. I think it should
be something like app name: "Control Center", descr: "The central
location to configure KDE".

Regards,

Thomas
