Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

On Natty Beta 1 with all updates installed the Screenlets Manager has three names:
1) Screenlets when searched for in the Dash
2) screenlets-manager.py in the launcher tooltip - with a blurry icon, the icon in the dash is not blurry and has the same size
3) Screenlets Manager in the window title

This should be consistent.

The naming inconsistancy is coming from the software, the desktop name= and the title are different, the launcher issue is a bug in unity but a duplicate so reassigning to screenlets for the naming issue

Starting Screenlets from the dash will actually start two programs: Screenlets Daemon and Screenlets Manager. If you close Screenlets Manager, daemon still keeps running.

So you shouldn't think that names Screenlets and Screenlets Manager are inconsistent. The first one names the whole Screenlets framework on user's system. The second one names the manager for Screenlets, which is started to indicate to user, that Screenlets framework is running and waiting for orders.

If you choose Quit Screenlets from appindicator/tray menu, Screenlets Manager and Screenlets Daemon both and all the individual screenlets are terminated.
