Just to add another dimension to this naming discussion. The name often
has nothing to do with the command line run command and there is no easy
way to find what command to use on the command line if or when you want
to run an application from there instead of a menu icon. The only
successful way I have found is to drag a copy of the icon from the menu
to the desktop and then look at the properties on the desktop icon.
Surely there could be a field in the menu properties that shows the /bin
or /sbin command.
