X-Chat has a meaning, it's the particular IRC client called X-Chat. There's
several IRC clients in Fedora, including one called xchat-gnome which several
people think should be the default (in fact, I'd LOVE for it to become the
default, not because I actually use it, in fact I hate it, but because that
could lead you to leave the regular X-Chat alone!), so "IRC" is very vague as a
menu entry.
And KDE actually displays "X-Chat (IRC client)" if the user preferences are set
that way. Why does GNOME _still_ not support GenericName years after this
specification has been supposedly agreed on? IMHO, the real technical problem
lies there, mangling .desktop files like this is just papering over the
problem.
