It looks ugly and silly? Having two names is kind of weird. What's the  
X even mean? I see people call it AdiumX, as one word, which is weird.  
I don't think it's *confusing* anyone, but it definitely isn't very  
pretty.

It's not a huge deal, but we should pick a position and stick with it,  
either way.
