[kde-community] Renaming KScreenGenie

[Rajeev Bhatta]

Though Generic names are more relatable and better for users and program 
itself.  But the generic name must IMHO should result in self identifying 
product. Product branding is very important to define a success of a product. 

If we can choose the name Selfie and then it is important to have the users 
relate to it as a product too then it works, if we cannot target that then we 
should not name it such... 

Referring to other platforms, they pick generic names more often, however 
they market it enough to leave an impression among users and wannabe users 
and make them relate to it. 

Anyway, I think the votes are already in and my opinion may not matter. 

Thanks for your response..
