Okay, that's just completely out of control. Remember, this is the
"short" description. How about something basic like
Description: Graphical interface to manage Linux kernel modules
and putting all the details in the long description.

Cap it; Gmodconfig. If that bugs you, re-arrange the sentence -- you
don't even really need the application name again.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Technically correct, I suppose, but the possessive strikes me as
awkward; I might go with just "configure kernel modules in their native
language." Also, the antecedent for "their" is a little fuzzy, but I'm
not sure I like "in the user's native language" any better.
