Show a meaningful name in the about dialog

gpk-application is not a great name tho show there.
Instead, show 'Software Install', which matches the
menuitem in the app menu.

Really show a meaningful name in the about dialog

I still see "gpk-application" in the About dialog. The patch didn't work because the property to set is "program-name" but we accidentally set "name."

Trivial fix attached
