Bug#409437: gnome-panel: Applications>Internet menu contains lots of non Internet software

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.14.3-4
Severity: normal

The reffered menu should be called "Network" instead, or the no-internet
software inside it moved somewhere else.

Most of the software inside it is network related, and internet is just
one possible application. Call everything internet is too Microsoft
stuff. At my office we have our own intranet and all software inside it
applies to it, but it is not internet. There are even some Bluetooth
related software inside it from kdebluetooth package. Since when
bluetooth is related to internet? It can be, but most of its
applications are not. Thats a mess!

I know there are "human interface questions" in order to decide by the
name Internet. But I guess it is simply wrong here.

I home someway this get fixed (my above way or another...).

Thank you.
