I just installed Light Racer on my Sprint Hero. Had never installed it before. Rebooted and it was fine, still named Light Racer, still with the same icon. I assume this is because you updated Light Racer and I had never installed it before.
However, I am having this problem with several other apps, which variously use their full name (com.x...) or their icon changes to something weird: Where (icon) Quick Settings (icon) ASTRO (icon) Coin Flip (name) Meebo (name) Handcent Sms (icon) Reinstalling any of these fixes the problem, which will then come back after a reboot. Let me know if more data from me would be helpful.
