Hi,

I have a couple of application which stays in the (bottom) notification
area. In Gnome 2 they were named "Update Manager" and "HP Printer Manager",
but in Gnome Shell their names are "update.py" and "hp-toolbox". I think
that's their executable file names. Why aren't they named like they are in Gnome 2 or all other DE's I've used (Cinnamon, Unity, KDE, LXDE and XFCE)?

Cinnamon? Are you sure? If so, that's a pretty bad bug.

I checked Cinnamon again since I just updated it to v1.4 and it has been in heavy development lately. Now his particular program, which btw is Linux Mint's updater, doesn't a name associated with it in Cinnamon at all. It's just the icon. But in Gnome Shell it's still'update.py' when you hover over it. The other program is called 'HPLIP Status Service' in Cinnamon, but is 'HP-systray' in Gnome Shell. To me it seems like Gnome Shell uses WM class for naming, not the .desktop file. Could that be the case?

Is there a way I can get Gnome Shell to show their application name instead
of the executable file name?

Are these system tray icons or libnotify notifications?

I'm not sure what they are. How could I find out?

I'm running Gnome 3.2 on Linux Mint Debian Edition UP4 x64.
