I can't say I agree, but if we're going to have to do this, we might
as well take the opportunity to make it consistent with the .desktop
file.  Alexander, are you okay with startup-disk-creator?

I think if we can get rid of usb in the name, that would be good as it
can write to SD cards.  I want to avoid using live in the name since,
as I previously mentioned, it can write debian-installer based images,
which are definitely not live CDs.  I don't want to put Ubuntu in the
name.  It writes more than just Ubuntu images (currently any
Debian-based image, but in the future any Linux distribution that uses
GRUB2).
