Bug Description

When using capital letters in the name of the process to detect, the process is not detected even when it does contain said capital letters in its name. (Ubuntu 13.10 x64)

Say I have two processes: MyProgram and myprogram (as per grep)

Running: MyProgram
In the Caffeine list: MyProgram
Autodetects: no

Running: myprogram
In the Caffeine list: myprogram
Autodetects: yes

Running: MyProgram
In the Caffeine list: myprogram
Autodetects: yes

Running: myprogram
In the Caffeine list: MyProgram
Autodetects: no

Looks like the processes are searched in the list that is all lowercased. This should be either fixed or documented and mentioned in the UI when adding programs to search for.
