O_o
If this is a 'way' to find out the name of a package, I would MOVE right
not to Windows and never come back to Linux :P :P :P

Just kidding ;)
But really, this is way too long if you ask me - no offense :)

Menu > System > Synaptic
and Just type the name of the application as it appears on the Menu and you
are done :)
If it is installed, a green box will be shown next to the name. If it is
not installed, the check box will be blank. Easy as pie :)
