Gnome panel menus

... and the names are still pretty random.

First, there's things that lack description, like:

LyX, Evolution, NmapFE, Eclipse, VI ImProved, pitivi..


Then, all the jpackage names make no sense at all:

jEdit, logfactor 5, jalopy settings, chainsaw

Then, there's the storm of players. I have one of each: "Audio Player",
"Media Player", "Music Player",  "Movie Player", and a "Multimedia
Player." Helix is just a "Player".

How about this:

Rhythmbox Music Player 
(or just Music Player, if the GNOME 
 name-removal policy still applies)
Xmms Music Player

Helix Movie Player
Xine Movie Player
Totem Movie Player
Mplayer Movie Player

(and it would be nice if this was sorted by the Music/Movie portion of
the name too)

Then, there's things with unclear description, like:

"Marlin sample editor" - this edits something, but the name doesn't tell
me what it is - "samples"?
