On the contrary, I like the idea.  Given the example of 'terminal
emulators', I for one
want to know if its going to be Konsole, or gnome-terminal, or xterm...
I have my favorite (ie. meets _my_ functional requirements), and I'd like to
know which one I'm going to get when I click on something in a menu.

Your comment on 'cryptic' executable names simply argues that
'executable names shouldn't be cryptic'... and I couldn't agree more.
