Applying the patch, the .desktop file will use:
 Name=USB Startup Disk Creator
 GenericName=USB Startup Disk Creator
 Comment=Create a USB startup disk using a CD or disc image

IMHO:
 * disk vs disc - the usb mass storage devices are referred as "thumb drives" or "USB drives" in GVFS or ; better use "disc" (not disk, at least this seems the convention in GNOME and HAL) only for removable media like CD/DVD. See gvfs/monitor/hal/hal-utils.c and gvfs/monitor/hal/ghaldrive.c

 * USB - we really need to have this (technical) info in name? See GNOME HIG about this.

 * Creator - note that the button in dialog is "Make", not "Create"

 * the Name entry should be short, really short. Any further info can be placed in Comment

So, maybe, something like (not perfect, just different from current)
 Name/GenericName=Startup Drive Maker
 Comment=Set up USB thumb drives to store and start up a working Ubuntu system and even personal data
