Actually they are used now to provide a textual description of what the application does, e.g. for "Brasero Disk Burner" -> "Create and copy CDs and DVDs", which just seem better than having "Brasero Disk Burner" -> "Brasero". This unfortunately doesn't provide for the distinguishment we seek, e.g. in example of two terminals the popups are: "Terminal emulator" and "Use the command line" > In theory, the technical side should be a thirty second fix.

Combination of previous brings an idea - instead of modifying application names, we could alter the problematic applications' popups by adding a binary e.g like: "Terminal: Terminal emulator" and "Konsole: Use the command line". This way: + Both names would stay the same, so we wouldn't have do any actual renaming and (!) we'd evade any "arguing" among desktops + The original explanatory use of popups would be kept - Great for LXDE and XFCE, but there are no popups in Gnome 3 yet, thus out of direct reach of Fedora for now. > I wonder if this should be a QA test?

But for most of the current apps the problem's simpler - the names are the same. Let's bring this up on today's QA meeting, I am sure we'll get a good input on which way to go there. Thanks!
