Agreed.  I have a suspicion that that name was chosen for that reason.
Only a suspicion mind :)

It's top of my league, but like I say, tautology.

Well I put up a vote on the front page (uml.sf.net).  So far we've had 4
for umbrello (bit of a surprise), 1 for KUML and 4 other not very good
made up names.  Whether we'll use the results or not I don't know.

When we choose a proper name we'll make it sure it's changed throughout.
Any patches would be happily accepted.

Thanks very much for packaging for debian, it's very much appreciated.
What's the time frame you're thinking of (do we need to settle on a name
toot sweet?).  Also do packages get made for all debian platforms (says
me as a Debian PPC user)?

Thanks
