I agree. The problem was, that TeXMaker changed its name, just the day 
after we put it in the package. While we ran very close against 
TeXLive's deadline of release, we decided to leave TeXMaker inside the 
package (instead of TeXstudio) before risking incompatibilities with the 
documentation.

Of course the next versions of ProTeXt will bear TeXstudio.

Also agreed. In fact i never imagined, that there will be changes to 
lshort. I will fix it up in the next version.

Nevertheless, enjoy TeX - Thomas
