Bug Description

Precise Desktop 20120321

When a desktop file is displayed on the desktop, the label of the icon contains the comment from the desktop file.

For example on a live session (but it is not specific to the live session and the defect also exists on installed systems) the label of the 'Install Ubuntu' icon in French is : "Installer Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Installer ce systeme de ..." (see screenshot)

Editing the label only show the actual label in the input field.
