This is rediculous. Benny can choose any name he wants. For your 
information, there was a lengthy discussion about the name already 
before, and many alternatives were discussed. None of this discussion 
anywhere involved this unlogical semblance, which is purely 
coincedental. Benny decided to stick to thunar because the alternatives 
were not worth the change and the project had already started up.
