Renaming it to something else than Olive seems like a good idea to me.

However, I don't think the description "Bazaar" does it justice.
Olive-GTK is not the same thing as Bazaar (gedit is a Text Editor, Totem
is a Movie Player but Olive is not "a Bazaar"). What about something
like "Bazaar Branch Manager" ?

Please also note that bzr-gtk is not just Olive-Gtk - it also includes
Nautilus integration for Bazaar among other things.

P.S. More GNOME HIG bug reports are most welcome :-)

I agree for "Bazaar Branch Manager" and can begin a patch on it. Vincent, are you ok with this name ?

In Intrepid version, the name is "Version Control GUI", which seems to be correct, don't you think?

Sorry, it was the generic name. Olive is still the name of the menu entry :)

I like it. "Bazaar Branch Manager" sounds good.

"Bazaar Branch Manager" is too generic imo. Olive is not the only Bazaar branch manager that's out there. what about something like "Olive Bazaar Branch Manager" ?

I took into account Jelmer's proposal.
Add also some french translation to it.
Here is the debdiff file.

That doesn't appear to be my proposal, I objected to the name "Bazaar Branch Manager" as being too generic.

Sorry, ignore that. I was looking at the wrong entry.

Sorry, I was looking at the wrong entry. Please ignore my last comment.

Any chance you can submit a patch to the upstream branch of bzr-gtk rather than a Ubuntu-specific change?

@Jelmer: yes, I will contact the upstream maintainer to see the possible inclusion of the patch. But still, I will submit my first patch \o/

Here is a new version taking into account Andrea remarks (removal of deprecated keys in .dekstop file)

Here is the version with my correct mail address (I really have to set up my working computer environment as my home one).
Sorry for the flood...
