Hello everybody :)

After 2 years of slow development snappy 0.3 is out, and it has picked up
the interest of the Fedora packagers. The problem is that the snappy
executable name conflicts with spice-gtk.

In Fedora /usr/bin/snappy is owned by spice-gtk
in debian/gentoo /usr/bin/snappy is owned by snappy the video player.

http://projects.gnome.org/snappy/

Having either renamed is equally inconvenient.

So this decision is a matter of what is better for linux users. Having
/usr/bin/snappy be a spice-gtk snapshot tool or a video player?

What do you guys think?
