Can we change the 'Name' paramenter in the default
/usr/share/applications/thunar-settings.desktop from 'File Manager' to
'File Manager Preferences'?

When typing in "File Mana" in Whisker (or any other searchable
menu/launcher), two entries come up, both labeled as 'File Manager' and
both with the same icon, even though one takes you to the preferences
and the other to the actual file manager.  It really hurts the common
workflow of assigning whisker-popup-menu to the super key, typing in a
few letters, and pressing enter to launch stuff.  I've launched the
preferences many times when I just wanted the file manager.

Editing the name to 'File Manager Preferences' not only makes it clear
that it's going to open up the preferences instead of the File Manager,
but it also puts the entry below the actual 'File Manager' due to the
way its sorted.  Allowing easier launch of the File Manager.
