Bug description:
Most of the descriptions of the startup programs in the default setup
are poor:
User Folders update: "No description"
Visual: "Autostart the preferred AT"
What the heck is an AT? What does "autostart" mean? Is that like "start"
or something different?
Volume Manager: "Volume manager for removable drives and media"
Doesn't describe what it does except "manage", which is vague. The term
"Volume" is ambiguous, so this should not be used in the description.
Print Queue Applet: "System tray icon for managing print jobs"
"managing" is vague. What the heck is a "system tray"? Searching in help
doesn't find it. And it is hopefully more than an icon.
Tracker: "Tracker search and indexing service"
Bonus points for adding information, but "Tracker" is redundant and
"service" is unnecessarily technical.
Other descriptions repeat their name without adding much or any information,
except maybe "daemon" or "applet":
Network Manager, Power Manager, Bluetooth Manager, Evolution Alarm Notifier
and Update Notifier are like this.
In general, it would be an improvement if the descriptions described
what each program does in non-technical (if possible) terms using an
active voice. For example, Tracker could be: "Indexes your files so
that they can be searched".
