Exactly.

I agree that only appnames in the menu are not so descriptive.
The same applies to using only descriptions.

Both are needed in order to discern between applications.

Either make a combined name, like "Caitoo - Internet Download Manager",
or simply use "Caitoo" and put "Internet Download Manager" on a tooltip for this
menu item ( BTW, isn't this the way that it is now in KDE 1.1.x ? ).
