Hi,

Afterthought: gEDA pcb is the "sphere" where editing a layout takes 
place, and to me the circuit is the physical thing after every component 
is soldered in place (on the "board" of whatever material or 
rigid/flex/substrate).

So I propose:

_Name=gEDA PCB
_GenericName=gEDA PCB Layout Editor
_Comment=Create and edit printed circuit board layouts


in pcb.desktop.in

Just my EUR 0.02 on linguistics ;-)

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
