IMHO, a generic name has no business to be in the Name field,
that's what
GenericName is for. And I definitely know there are other people agreeing with
me on that (Rex Dieter, for example).
So the two of you simply decided that it would be better for everybody
if the menu item changed from the (somewhat cryptic, but informative)
"IRC" to the totally meaningless "X-Chat" ?

I'd appreciate some enforcement of the democratically-voted packaging
guidelines, which explicitly say "Installed .desktop files MUST follow the
[desktop-entry-spec], paying particular attention to validating correct usage
of Name, GenericName, [Categories], [StartupNotify] entries.", from FeSCo!
Please don't bring forms of government into this discussion, thats not
leading anywhere. In particular if the people you cite in support of
your change are the same that voted this particular wording in the
packaging guidelines...
