XFCE Application Menu supports both GenericName and Comment desktop file entries. But its use is not correct. If both Comment and GenericName are present, application subtitle should use GenericName and pop-up should use Comment. Current behavior: Title: Uses name Subtitle: If Comment is available, use Comment, else use GenericName. Pop up: If Comment is available, use Comment, else use GenericName. => Subtitle and Pop up are always the same Expected behavior: The subtitle logic should be reversed. Subtitle: If GenericName is available, use GenericName, else use Comment. xfce4-panel-4.12.2, openSUSE Tumbleweed current for x86_64.
I think this is an improvement for Garcon, it seems all application menu does is to toggle generic names and tooltips: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/tree/plugins/applicationsmenu/applicationsmenu.c#n309 Reading garcon's code, I couldn't find anything resembling the logic you described, here's the code that uses the Name or GenericName: https://git.xfce.org/xfce/garcon/tree/garcon-gtk/garcon-gtk-menu.c#n853 If you're able to provide a patch improving this behavior, I will gladly review it :)
