Bug Description

1. FSLint name is hard to understand for most non-US people (my friend is English teacher but she doesn't know meaning of word Lint).
Attached patch makes launcher name easier to find for most people, especially in modern desktop environments, like GNOME Shell or Unity, where most users search software by keywords.
It's very important to have Clean and Janitor keywords in Name or Comment fields.

2. Also it would be nice if you add an ability to see translated FSLint launcher in all operating systems - it's very easy, just rename fslint.desktop to fslint.desktop.in , change lines "Name=" to "_Name=" , "Comment=" to "_Comment=" and add fslint.desktop.in file into po/POTFILES.in (and use modern automake+autoconf instead of custom makefile) - see for example Alacarte software which is also written in python:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/alacarte/tree/data/alacarte.desktop.in.in
https://git.gnome.org/browse/alacarte/tree/po
https://git.gnome.org/browse/alacarte/tree/Makefile.am
https://git.gnome.org/browse/alacarte/tree/

Line "X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=fslint" adds an ability to have translated Name and Comment fields in Ubuntu Linux distribution.
See for example similar LP bug #980537 for more info:

Thanks for writing nice free tool :)

Rolf, could you push an SRU with the fix into Trusty? It's already fixed in Vivid.
