Generic Name and Name in the desktop file should be swapped. #65

In the current situalition I have "Racing Game" in the menu with a small tip 
"Stunt Rally". I think it would be more natural to have it the opposite way. 
Also note that "Generic Name" is reserved to the original name of the 
application, it is strange to have "Rally Game" as the original name.

The Desktop Entry Specification clearly states 
(http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html) that 
Name is the "specific name of the application, for example "Mozilla"." - hence 
"Stunt Rally", and GenericName is "Generic name of the application, for example 
"Web Browser"." -hence "Racing game".

So your issue is with your desktop environment / menu applet which makes the 
choices of how to use the entries. For the record, My Gnome menu displays 
"Stunt Rally" as the menu item and the Comment-entry as tooltip.
