That appears to be the case on the KDE 3.0 desktop on my FreeBSD 4.6 
machine; it might be that the KDE 1.x on my FreeBSD 3.4 machine based it 
on the name of the desktop file rather than the Name entry.

(Note: anybody using Subversion on a case-insensitive file system - 
which is a superset of the people using it on Windows; my main UN*X box 
has a case-insensitive file system, namely non-case-insensitive HFS+ - 
might have to handle this change by doing

	svn update Ethereal.desktop

to remove Ethereal.desktop, followed by

	svn update ethereal.desktop

to get ethereal.desktop - and they might have to repeat that command. 
Otherwise, Subversion seems to get confused.)
