[Bug 38436] Re: Iagno menu item has a confusing tooltip

Sure, if Ubuntu shipped by default a Chess game with a menu item that didn't include "Chess", that would be something to laugh at too. (KDE's "Knights" is borderline, but at least it's fairly obviously related.) This is the same reason we have "Text Editor" rather than "gedit", "XSane Image Scanner" rather than "XSane", and so on.

According to Wikipedia, Reversi has two names: Reversi and Othello. If "Iagno" differs noticably from Reversi, the tooltip should be "A Reversi-like game." If it doesn't differ, either:
* it should be called "Reversi", with the tooltip "Otherwise known as Othello", or
* it should be called "Othello", with the tooltip "Otherwise known as Reversi".
