right now kickoff doesn't have configuration for this at all, where would that
be applied? when the icons are a grid for the tooltips?

while kicker has:

name only
description only
name (description)
description(name)

with the patch name(description) becomes name and comment, while otherwise
"description" is always treated as "generic name"

i see some problems with that, both with the patch and without.

I think it would be a bit confusing to have the word "description" meaning 2
separate things depending on whetehr it comes before or after the name.

Also, i would really consider to change the kicker model to have name, generic
name, and comment to be 3 separed roles from the model, and would be a task of
the qml side of the applet to decide which of them to display. Maybe keeping
the comment->generic name fallback but that's it
