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

[Daniel Holbach]

Upstream says:
"Iagno is Reversi which is also Othello. Othello is by far the most recognised
name, but it is trademarked. Instead of going for Reversi the author decided to
use a really bad pun (which I happen to like) for the name. It is very little
different from Aisleriot's "Play many different solitaire games". The name is
an cute anagram, so the purpose has to be described in the tooltip.

In the end it is the age old problem for menu labels of "branding" vs.
"describing functionality". The usual solution to this problem is to relabel
the menu item to use both i.e. "Iagno" to "Iagno Reversi". However I think this
is silly. I also don't want to change the name. While I have removed a lot of
the explicit GNOME branding, I have tried to keep the more whimsical names
(actually, almost anything that wasn't GNOME-something or g-something) like
Aisleriot and Iagno.

For the record, since I suspect that you (like 90% of this planet) haven't been
to the sort of school that teaches Shakespeare, Iago is the bad-guy in the play
Othello. The name was then gnome-ified by adding the 'n'."

I'm personally happy with it and I don't think I want to create a diff and have to change the translations every time there's a new upstream release.
