Log:
 Update with Entries from Fedora and Suse 9.1

They only added a Swedish Comment field with "Network traffic analyzer", but they added something equivalent ("Network analyzer" in some languages, "Network traffic analyzer" in others, "Network analyzer programmer" in still others) in a GenericName field in a large number of languages (although the Swedish appears to be "Network analyzer" in GenericName and "Network traffic analyzer" in Comment)?

The desktop entry spec:

	http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec/0.9.4/ar01s04.html

says GenericName is

	Generic name of the application, for example "Web Browser"

and Comment is

Tooltip for the entry, for example "View sites on the Internet"; should not be redundant with Name or GenericName.

Perhaps Comment is intended to be something such as "Capture and analyze network traffic" in the case of Ethereal.
