Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 13.10
Language: English US
UX Problem:
When searching in the Dash for the system software updater - a pretty common
task - always two entries are presented to the user with nearly the same name.
There is the update-manager labeled ' Software Updater' and there is
software-properties labeled 'Software & Updates', result: 'Software Updater'
and 'Software & Updates'.
Both names start with a capital S and a capital U → they should be easier to
distinguish.
Suggested solution:
Relabel the less common GenericName of the .desktop file to something else. As
the software-properties are less important IMHO for the daily use of an average
user, I purpose to relabel it to 'Software Settings'. Not my favorite name, but
visual much better to distinguish then the current name and it would share the
naming pattern of having 'Settings' at the end of a program that allows the
user to configure something.
