Bug Description
Binary package hint: file-roller
1. Launch the Ubuntu Software Center.
2. Locate "Archive Manager" and open its application screen.
3. Launch the Archive Manager itself (e.g. by opening a .zip file) and choose "Help" > "About".
What you see:
2. The title is "Archive Manager", but the description begins "File-roller is an archive manager...".
3. The main window title is "Archive Manager", but the About box calls it "File Roller".
Either the program is called Archive Manager, or it is called File Roller. Either way, the application title, description, window title, and About box should all agree on what it's called.
It may save time to fix bug 15495 at the same time as this bug.

Version 2.28.1 says "File Roller: An archive manager for GNOME." Is that the version you have there? It doesn't look that much confusing to me, but maybe it's just because I'm used to it: nautilus reads "File Browser" on title, evince reads "Document Viewer"... I think this is just the way Ubuntu found to make it easier for new users. Who'd figure out nautilus is a file browser? I see your point, but I don't think this is a bug after all.
