Nope, and as far as MacOS is concerned the "App Name" which appears at the left
side of the menu bar and in Activity Monitor is "Gnucash", the name of the
executable in Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS that's named in
Gnucash.app/Contents/Info.plist. The filename of the bundle (i.e. Gnucash.app
or whatever the user might rename it to) doesn't matter to anything except the
file system.
