The entry for GIMP in the GNOME menu in Fedora 7 (and I assume Fedora 8 too?) has a different icon to the main GIMP application, leading to a loss of visual continuity. Also, in the Applications menu, GIMP is listed as "GNU Image Manipulation Program", but when GIMP launches, it never refers to itself this way. I suggest that anyone using GIMP will expect it to be titled as such in the menu, rather than this strange choice of name that is not a 'generic' title (eg "Media player") nor is it the common name for the program. Most users do not know what GIMP stands for.

This is very likely because your desktop environment doesn't use the icons shipped with the gimp package, but their own icons instead. File a bug there if you're so inclined ;-). > Also, in the Applications menu, GIMP is listed as "GNU Image Manipulation > Program", but when GIMP launches, it never refers to itself this way. > > I suggest that anyone using GIMP will expect it to be titled as such in the > menu, rather than this strange choice of name that is not a 'generic' title (eg > "Media player") nor is it the common name for the program. Most users do not > know what GIMP stands for. I haven't changed anything w.r.t. naming the app in the menus, "GNU Image Manipulation Program" is the name as upstream want to have it. You would have to take this one there (http://bugzilla.gimp.org) as I'm not willing to deviate in this area.
