Public bug reported:
The .desktop file installed with totem in Xubuntu 13.04 has the
application name "Videos". There are several problems with this:
- It is not the name of the application.
- It does not describe the purpose of the application.
- It refers to only one kind of document that the application can handle.
- It does not indicate that it can only play those documents, not modify or
create them.
- It does not distinguish itself from all the other applications that can
handle the same documents.
In short, it is so vague and ambiguous as to be confusing; basically
less than useless. This is an issue in application launcher menus, MIME
document associations, and in the "open with application..." context
menus of certain file managers.
In order to save unsuspecting users from madness, I suggest the .desktop
file's Name field be updated to something like "Totem Movie Player" or
"Media Player (Totem)".
