Who decides on that set? Aren't we aiming for Epiphany and Rhythmbox
to
be "part of the OS"? What substantially distinguishes Epiphany from
"Image Viewer"?
Nothing. It should be "music player"
What if gucharmap had originally had a "branded" name itself, like
"CharacterWorld" or something? Just because the author originally
chose
a branded name, that means users should see it in the menu?
Yeah, that would be ridiculous. The missing line from the hig should
say: "if you are writing a core gnome app, you should use a generic name
even if that means renaming" (but at the time I was too timid to have
the audacity to stipulate people had to rename their precious work)
