projects like KDE *really* should introduce rules that shitty application
names which don't give anybody a clue about what the applications is supposed
to do are prohibited, especially when consider ot replace knowen and logical
named ones
You don't need to know the name of an application which pop ups when you press
"Print".
No need to think about strange reasons. You can follow the story, which was
open and publicly discussed. This is the start of the Spectacle (KScreenGenie,
initially) and the reason to write a new program (which uses relevant parts of
the old code).

This is the discussion about the renaming:

Apart from this, please don't use "shitty" and "idiotic" anymore
here, even
if referred to a name. This is just an opinion and it may likely not be
generally shared.
