I think I agree with Larry.  Most KDE names (other
than Konqueror), even if not completely
descriptive, are at least reminiscent of the
function performed by the program.  "Enemies of
Carlotta" is misdescriptive.  It brings to mind a
video game starring an animated Angelina Jolie.
Perhaps there's an Easter Egg that initiates that.
