Title:
  Rename 'Software & Updates' label

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Confirmed
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 13.10
  Language: English US

  UX Problem:
  When searching in the Dash for the system software updater - a pretty common task - always two entries are presented to the user with nearly the same name. There is the update-manager labeled ' Software Updater' and there is software-properties labeled 'Software & Updates', result: 'Software Updater' and 'Software & Updates'.
  Both names start with a capital S and a capital U → they should be easier to distinguish.

  Suggested solution:
  Relabel the less common GenericName of the .desktop file to something else. As the software-properties are less important IMHO for the daily use of an average user, I purpose to relabel it to 'Software Settings'. Not my favorite name, but visual much better to distinguish then the current name and it would share the naming pattern of having 'Settings' at the end of a program that allows the user to configure something.
