[Frontend-GNOME] Fixed desktop file for GNOME 2.32 and GNOME 3 compatibility (closes: #508)
As per GNOME goal "Correct Desktop Files" [0] the desktop file should set
the application name in Name without descriptive suffix and application name
with descriptive suffix in X-GNOME-FullName.
Removed the deprecated Encoding key as per Desktop Entry Specification [1]
Removed the file extension in Icon as per Icon Theme Specification [2]

In addition to the mentioned issues, there are some more things to fix for GNOME 2.32 and GNOME 3 compatibility:
Name=Smuxi IRC Client
GenericName=IRC Chat
New key:
X-GNOME-FullName=Smuxi IRC Client
The "X-GNOME-FullName" holds "Name" and the value of the old GenericName key, which is no longer used and should be removed.
