Bug Description

By default, Lubuntu creates a web browser "quick launch" icon for the default web browser. However, this icon has three problems:

1. Its tooltip reads "Internet", which is incorrect. The web browser is only one of several Internet applications Lubuntu offers, some others being Pidgin and Skype, not to mention video games that can be played over the Internet.
2. The tooltip is not translated into any language but English.
3. The icon (lubuntu-browser.desktop) duplicates the LXDE-provided web browser icon (lxde-x-www-browser.desktop), which does not suffer from problems 1 or 2.

Could you please use lxde-x-www-browser.desktop in the default configuration and delete lubuntu-browser.desktop? I've put together a patch that does exactly this; you are welcome to use it without attribution or any other obligation.

  * etc/xdg/lxsession/QLubuntu/
   - Update with new names of LXQt components.
  * usr/share/lubuntu/pcmanfm-qt/
   - Add special configuration for pcmanfm-qt
  * usr/share/lubuntu/qt/Trolltech-qt-session.conf
   - Add new configuration for Qt settings of QLubuntu session.
  * usr/share/xsession
   - Change the name of QLubuntu session file, to match lxsession to launch
     (upstart seems to require this).
  * etc/xdg/lxsession
   - Set disable_autostart=no for all sessions, to keep previous behavior of
     autostarted applications.
  * debian/control:
   - Add policykit-desktop-privileges as a depends with lxsession-logout, to be
     sure to install policykit rules.
