Title:
  Unity 2D doesn't honor X-GNOME-FullName as launcher hover text

Status in unity-2d package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Hi,

  When hovering over icons in the launcher, it looks like Unity 2D uses
  the Name field of the .desktop files as hover text. In contrast, Unity
  3D uses the more descriptive X-GNOME-FullName if present, and Name as
  a fallback, since 2010 (bug #594285).

  This leads to launcher names being different in Unity 2D and Unity 3D,
  for lauchers whose .desktop files have an X-GNOME-FullName field. For
  instance GEdit and Rhythmbox. In an up-to-date 12.04 LTS:

    /usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop:
    Name=gedit
    X-GNOME-FullName=Text Editor

    /usr/share/applications/rhythmbox.desktop:
    Name=Rhythmbox
    X-GNOME-FullName=Rhythmbox Music Player

  With Unity 2D the hover text is "gedit", with Unity 3D it's "Éditeur
  de texte" (French for "Text Editor", and I guess X-GNOME-FullName[fr]
  is defined in the language pack because it's not in gedit.desktop).

  Could this be fixed? I think Unity 2D should use the more descriptive
  full name if it is present, as Unity 3D does.
