The `X-GNOME-Bugzilla-*` entries were for use by bug-buddy, a GNOME 2
technology that's been gone for over a decade. These entries are
obsolete and can be removed from all desktop files.
The `X-GNOME-Settings-Panel` entry is also obsolete as far as I can
tell and only these panels had it in their desktop file: notifications,
sharing, sound and user-accounts. These entries can also be removed.
After removing the `X-GNOME-Bugzilla-*` entries, the desktop files have
no more variables in them. The meson `configure_file` step is therefor
pointless—there are no variables to configure. As such the
`*.desktop.in.in` files are renamed to `*.desktop.in` to reflect this
and `meson.build` files are modified to remove `configure_file` step.
Recent versions of Gettext are able to translate several formats
that are used in GNOME applications. This patch migrates from
Intltool to Gettext by using meson's i18n features.

With the old shell gone, there is no need to work around cut off panel
names (bug #647087). As it stands now, it only confuses translators
(invisible characters are hard to, well, see).

Since we don't maintain two different shells anymore, there
is no need to maintain the two different sets of categories
in the desktop files.
This commit also drops the "#ifdef CC_ENABLE_ALT_CATEGORIES"
blocks, since the previous commit removed that define.

Following the previous patch, this patch adds the new alternative
categories to the panels' Desktop files. These alternative categories
are only relevant for the alternative Shell, and do not break the
current Shell in any way.

Commit b3be076 added soft hyphens along with a comment for translators
to use those soft hyphens. Except that gettext would only grab the one
line out of the four we wrote for translators to read. Put them all on
the same line so that gettext actually extracts those.

Note that this fix will not automatically fix translations, which will
need to add soft-hyphens (U+00AD) to their translations themselves, and
will not fix larger fonts for which the split up syllables end up
being bigger than the maximum text width.
It's the best we can do without redesigning the Settings shell, which is
already something planned.

Very few of the panel comments provide information that is very
useful. Update them to supplement the panel descriptions - this
will make the search results more helpful.

Ubuntu plans to fork a separate Appearance panel this cycle so
that Gnomebuntu can use the GNOME Background panel.
I believe Ubuntu will try to use the Printers and Region & Language
panels instead of system-config-printer & language-selector

Add the X-GNOME-Settings-Panel category. You need a control-center
panel to add this to your desktop file. Desktop entries with this
category but that aren't actually panels will be ignored (no cheating).
If the desktop file for your settings isn't a panel, it will show in the
"Other" section of the control-center shell
