Renaming it to something else than Olive seems like a good idea to me.
However, I don't think the description "Bazaar" does it justice.
Olive-GTK is not the same thing as Bazaar (gedit is a Text Editor, Totem
is a Movie Player but Olive is not "a Bazaar"). What about something
like "Bazaar Branch Manager" ?
Please also note that bzr-gtk is not just Olive-Gtk - it also includes
Nautilus integration for Bazaar among other things.

P.S. More GNOME HIG bug reports are most welcome :-)
