i'd prefer to see it follow the menu settings that we already have. presenting 
another set of options for this specific feature will be difficult to phrase 
is user-friendly terms and will only make the configuration of the menu more 
complex. right now we have the three following settings, and here's how i'd 
map them:

	- Name only 	
		just show the menu name, e.g. CD & DVD Burning
	- Name (Description)
		K3B (CD & DVD Burning)
	- Description (Name)
		CD & DVD Burning (K3B)

simple! =)

not a problem. if you can remember to do so, i'd love to see the final patch 
and merge it into HEAD as soon as it's ready. if it's particularly clean, we 
could even sneak it into 3.4.1 as a "xdg specification compliance bug fix"
