My gut feeling tells me that they will tell that fedora can change the
name to gimp if that fits better,
As I already said, this is not practicable as we need to care for all
languages. AFAIK, we don't have infrastructure for forked translatable
strings.
most upstream gnome people to who I
talked to told me that on such minor things gnome lets downstream
customize as they need for them.
I'll talk to upstream and report back and tell you if my gut feeling
was spot on or wrong.
Do you plan to do that via mail (gimp-developer(a)lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU)
or via IRC (#gimp @ GIMPNet)? If the latter, it would be nice if you
could ping me (my nick is "nils") as I may have something to add about
the technical aspects (.desktop files etc.).
