Yeah, I agree. Another problem is that there is no good word for
something packaged with xdg-app. "an app", "an xdg-app app", or things
like that doesn't really pop in a document text.

I've been mildly hesitant to change the name because it would lose the
little name recognition it has managed to gain, but I guess that is not
really a lot at this point.

We really need a good name though, and I suck at that kind of thing.
