Hmm... you'd also rename the .desktop file and the icon.  There should
be no problem in doing this, aside some more work ;)

The thing is that we will add a framework to pkgsrc to generate menus
for whichever window manager you have installed.  So, if someone chooses
distcc-gtk, he will want to see it in the menu (be it fluxbox, wmaker or
whatever); hence, the need for it.  (Or for example, if you are a KDE
user, you'll probably prefer distcc-gtk over distcc-gnome, and you'll
want your application to appear in the menu.)
