           Summary: renaming an actor does not persist in saved kar files
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: berkley at nceas.ucsb.edu
        ReportedBy: jones at nceas.ucsb.edu

When one renames an actor on the canvas, and then selects that actor and
chooses 'Save KAR...' in the context menu, a new KAR file is saved, but the
actor in that KAR file contains the original name of the actor, rather than the
new name.  

To reproduce:

1) Drag 'Display' (or any other actor) onto the canvas
2) Select the actor, right click, and select 'Customize Name' from the menu
3) Change the name to 'MyDisplay' or another name, and click 'Commit'
4) Right click on the actor again and select 'Save Archive (KAR)...'
5) Type a name for the kar (probably 'MyDisplay.kar') and click 'Save'
6a) In the component tab, search for 'Display', and navigate to the newly saved
kar file, click on the arrow to expand the KAR contents, which will show the
original name of the actor (Display)
6b) Drag the new actor to the canvas, which will show the original name of the
actor (Display)

Expected behavior:
For 6a, and 6b, the name shown should be the new name of the actor (e.g.,
'MyDisplay')

This is a synopsis of an issue reported by Chris Weed on kepler-users.
