Sure it is! I went around my house, changing the name on all my tissue boxes to the much more generic "Kleenex"!

Well, first you need a way to become root. Search the forums, there's several ways to get it.

Interestingly enough, it's the jerkfaces that actually stepped up and did something about it and not the people who were always so adamant about harassing them for telling people to search.
That said, who wants to add some information on playing with .desktop files to this new article?

Well, after complaining about the fact that the most prominently listed Wiki is not the one considered the best, I took it on myself to put a link in that Wiki pointing to https://wiki.maemo.org/. If anyone wants to improve my style, help yourself.
It just seems weird to me to have the most important Wiki so difficult to find for someone stumbling on this site for the first time. Now, if they click on the above Wiki, they can also find the other one.

Don't Google. Use a search engine.
