I'd strongly object to using Name over GenericName just because we are
Fedora. It has a significant discoverablity advantage for users to use
GenericName which we would be throwing out.

Users who want to change their application setup should also have the
option to change the naming scheme, maybe in a TweakUI type thing or as
part of the menu configuration/editing.
