OpenOffice Impress is the official name of the program. In fact if you
take a look at Sun's openoffice.org website you will see that the suite
is comprised of writer, calc, impress, draw and base.

IMO the fact that we use .desktop files to rename these apps (to
simplify/abstract the name) in the application menu, should not stretch
into the actual program.

I think consistency is important too, but I feel it should work the
other way around. The programs should be called what its developers
named it. I know my opinion will probably be unpopular among usability
professionals but I think branding the suite the way it was intended
(writer, calc, impress, draw) is the way to go. The functionality that
the application provides already shows up in the tooltip. I don't think
we should expect the OOo to change the actual program names just to be
consistent with what we chose to name these apps in the gnome
application menu.

My vote is to either keep it as is, or rename the menu entries to the
original OOo names.
