I personally think we should keep both, e.g. "Document Viewer (Evince)". Why not have an inclusive view instead of an exclusive one? The exact instantiation could vary, for example it could be a tooltip displayed with the menu item. Is having "(Evince)" in the menu item so confusing for the user?

I agree that for the casual user, he does not care if the document viewer is Evince or FooPDFViewer. However, for a more experienced user that has started to install new applications (e.g. FooPDFViewer), this is important. The application *is* different in some way (even in ABrowser/Firefix case). The user knows that he has installed the application but he does not know how to reach it, i.e. find the proper menu item. Moreover, it could be useful in other contexts. For example, I already had issues with some Ubuntu administration applications but could not report a bug against the correct package because I could not know its name. Anyway, do as you feel it. I just wanted to add another user feedback to Patrick and Peter ones. I personally think their remarks deserve some thinking.
