Actually, it would. What you see in the Leaf menu is the content of
~/config/be, which is a set of symlinks organized in some directories.
The symlinks could perfectly well be created with different names than
the executables they point to. This would, however, be quite confusing
for a curious user opening the directory where the actual apps or
preferences live since the names would be different from what he will
see in the Deskbar.

The first is clearly not an option, unless the aim is to create an
unusable system.
