** Description changed:

- Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, resources 1.10.2-0ubuntu3.
+ [ Impact ]
  
- The (deb) application names in Resources seem to be displayed in English
- on non-English system. See the attached screenshot.
+ In the "Resources" system monitoring app, application names are not
+ translated in the system language for applications that bundle their
+ translations in language packs, such as most GNOME apps packaged as
+ debs.
  
- The only exception are Snap apps - their app names are correctly
- translated.
+ Other application names are correctly displayed translated.
+ 
+ See the attached screenshot.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ 0. Set a non-english system language
+ 1. Open "Thunderbird Mail" (snap) and "Files" (deb)
+ 2. Open "Resources"
+ 3. Navigate to "Apps"
+ For each Thundebrird and Files:
+ 4. Verify that the app name is translated, matching the name shown in the dock
+    or in the applications menu
+ 5. Right click > Information
+ 6. Verify that the short app comment is translated
+ 7. Verify that the app icon is shown
+ 8. Verify that the "Containerized" info is accurate:
+    "Files" should report "Containerized: No", and
+    "Thunderbird Mail" should report "Containerized: Yes (Snap)"
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The patch drops the custom parsing of .desktop files in favour of re-using 
the implementation in GLib which is aware of Ubuntu language packs.
+ The implementation in GLib is battle-tested as it's used by GNOME Shell and 
other GNOME apps like Settings.
+ Issues may manifest with missing information in the Apps page of Resources; 
the test plan attempts to verify that all the extracted info from the .desktop 
files is still retrieved and shown correctly.
