Hello all. As you are propably aware, a default installation of 12.04 results in the standard desktop environment, which shows the phrase "Ubuntu Desktop" at the left side of the upper panel (or, to put it otherwise, the upper left corner of the screen). I find it annoying and wish i could replace it with something more meaningfull, say.. the name of the machine, or any other phrase. Can it be done?

Thank you in advance.
