Let me apologize for the incorrect Component choice - I'm not sure which one is
right :(

When I said yes to the quickstart option during install, a Mozilla button was
added to the quickstart area and it works great, but the mouseover says
"Mozilla" on top of "Mozilla".

When I mouse over Windows Media Player, I notice that the 2 lines are "Windows
Media Player" and then a description string.  Similarly, I notice that every
other icon in the quick start area only has a 1-line mouseover like "Launch
Outlook Express", "RealPlayer Basic", "Launch Internet Explorer Browser",
"WINAMP", etc.

It "feels" like the api allows one "title" string and one optional "description"
string and Mozilla is currently putting "Mozilla" for both.  I'd recommend
dropping the second one at a minimum and perhaps also changing the first to
"Launch Mozilla" - I like the ones that say "Launch" mainly because it helps
emphasize (from a UI perspective - see?  I picked this component for a reason ;)
that this isn't an icon associated with an existing program but is instead a
launcher for a new program.

Even better, the first string may be best done as "Quickstart Mozilla" or
"Quick-Launch Mozilla" or whatever to emphasize this very cool feature, but
that's getting into details best decided by others, methinks :)

it's because of the "comment" field, which is incorrectly being set to the same
as the name of the shortcut...
Looks very unprof. Must be a quick fix, but the bug is now almost 2 years old...:(
