It is, actually.

Giving your app a name is astoundingly tricky. If I remember correctly:
(1) the localized CFBundleName is what shows up in the menu bar
(2) changing (presumably localizing) the About, Hide, Quit, and Help menu
items is up to you :(
(3) the dock name is the name of the app wrapper; you can change this by
changing PRODUCT_NAME in your target (not project) settings
(3a) when you do that, you also need to change the CFBundleExecutable to
match (in your info.plist), or the app won't launch; I believe you can now
(Xcode 1.5) set it to $(PRODUCT_NAME) to make this happen all by itself, and
in fact that seems to be the best approach.
