           Summary: If you set a custom class, and set an application
                    name, your class doesn't work
    Classification: Mono
           Product: MonoDroid
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other

Description of Problem:
If you create a custom application class, e.g.:
    [Application]
    public class CustomApplication : Android.App.Application

the manifest.xml gets properly injected with something like this:
    <application android:name="test_customappclass.CustomApplication">

however, if you also set the application name in the project properties, you no
longer get the app name injection. 

the reason is, if you set your app name, then it creates an <application> node
in the AndroidManifest.xml and the build tool will not modify it.

i propose that the build tool instead tries to insert properties as long as
their not conflicting. if they are conflicting, you should get a build error,
explaining that they are conflicting.
