I'm all for using debranded apps too, but switching to showing GenericName instead X-GNOME-Fullname alone is not sufficient.
Okay, let's say we have debranded apps. Now Totem is "Movie Player" and Audience is too. What happens if elementary OS user installs Totem or Ubuntu user installs Audience? They get two "Movie Player"s with the same icons which are in fact different apps. So *if* we go for it, we'll also have to make Slinghot detect and handle such collisions: either show X-GNOME-Fullname for each "colliding" app (resulting in "Totem Movie Player" and "Audience Movie Player" respectively), or show GenericName for apps that are set as default ones and X-GNOME-Fullname for other colliding apps (resulting in "Movie Player" for default player and full branded name for the other one). And please, read "X-GNOME-Fullname" thread in the archives before commenting on this further, it has a good list of pros and cons of this approach. -- Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff OS architect @ elementary
