Except sometimes XCode gets confused and your target wont build anymore. I had a fight with this this weekend. It was easier to create a new project in the end.
Maybe you could get away with creating a new target and deleting the old?

Maybe this is more an Xcode-question than a general Cocoa one, but I am
not sure.

It is, actually.

When I started my project, I named it in a kind of sloppy way and now
whenever I run the application, the dock icon displays this old name.
How can I change this? Of course, renaming the application itself
didn't do anything. Is there any place where I can tell Xcode how to
name the binary executable so that the dock icon displays what I want
it to?

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.
