@Bilal: Use of word "GUI" is not needed.

And since we dont have a replacement name for "gufw" , we can just drop
it from description! :)

Title , Firewall Configuration can be replaced with a nicer name too,
Marcos any luck? ;)

** Description changed:

  The Gufw short description in the software center (where it is known as
  Firewall configuration) is: "Allows you to configure ufw firewall". The
  end-user does not know what is 'ufw', so this should be changed to
  "Allows you to configure the system's firewall" or "Allows you to
  configure Ubuntu's firewall".
  
  As for the long description: "gufw is an easy and intuitive way to
  manage your Linux firewall. It supports common tasks such as allowing or
  blocking pre-configured, common p2p, or individual port(s), and many
  others!" Here again, gufw should not be mentionned, but the biggest
  problem is in 'Linux firewall". Since the recent Ubuntu site redesign
  has completely removed any mention of Linux, the user will be confused
  about this and may even leave Ubuntu on the basis that "Linux is for
  geeks". So, this should be changed to: "Firewall configuration is an
  easy and intuitive way to manage your Ubuntu firewall. It supports
  common tasks such as allowing or blocking pre-configured, common P2P, or
  individual port(s), and many others!"
