I'll argue this is *our* problem. The Fedora Desktop is not just a bunch 
of packages thrown together, it is supposed to be more than that: have 
consistency and a vision behind it.

As a long time GIMP user, with my memory muscle trained to find it in 
the menu, it was a pain for me (and I sill have not recovered 
completely) to launch it, I still look for The Gimp and see GNU something.

Here is how the Graphics menu looks on my F8 desktop:
Agave
FontForge
Fyre
GNU Image Manipulation Program
gThumb Image Viewer
Inkscape Vector Graphics Editor
ScannerTool

Quite inconsistent, but if I would try to apply some logic, it would 
look like the application name is "GNU" and the description is "Image 
Manipulation Program".
