Hi,

Why ? We have "Configure persistent volume", "Tails installer", ...

If we're not happy with case 3, then I think we should go to case 2.

I think case 1 is bad:
- "In the menu item name, include a description of functionality in
addition to the proper name of the
application"
(https://developer.gnome.org/hig-book/3.0/desktop-application-menu.html.en#menu-item-functional-description)
- "In the menu item name, include a description of the functionality
and the name of the
application" (http://wiki.xfce.org/dev/hig/general)

What about "Report an error with WisperBack"?
