https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1084864 Bug 1084864 - YaST module names are too similar to some desktop environment configuration modules

YaST, GNOME, KDE Plasma and Enlightenment all have configuration modules named "Fonts" and a YaST module with the same exact name shows up when searching for "fonts" in all 3 DEs. This is not currently too much of a problem for users because the YaST Fonts module uses an icon representing X11 instead of an icon representing fonts, but there's no way to tell the difference without the icon. This will also be a problem for me because I am working on a KDE Breeze theme for YaST and intend to change the icon of the YaST Fonts module to a proper fonts icon.

Fixing this problem will require changes to the code of yast-control-center and changes to the .desktop files shown for all YaST modules.

1. Every Name field needs to be prefixed with "YaST " or something similar to show association with YaST. However, this will cause every module name shown in the YaST Control Center to also have that prefix, which doesn't look good. 2. GenericName can be the field that YaST Control Center uses for module names instead. For example, the Name field could be "YaST Fonts" and the GenericName field could be "Fonts". 3. The GenericName field is currently used as if it was the Comment field, so YaST Control Center needs to display the Comment field instead of the GenericName field for module descriptions. All descriptions in the .desktop files need to be moved to the Comment field.
