Default Yahoo Messenger, Opera Mini, and facebook module names

I've searched, but no viable results turn up. I'll go straight to the problem.

I have these module names for each respective apps
YM: net_rim_bb_qm_yahoo
FB: net_rim_bb_facebook
Opera Mini: operette$2dhifi

Here are the problems I've encountered:
1. YM module launches correctly, but it doesn't function. I can't sign in and I can't close the module. Once I launch it via 3rd party icon, even launching it properly via the app icon won't solve the problem

2. While facebook and opera mini modules launch and function correctly, I can't assign app names to them, unlike YM (which doesn't make it function correctly either). If I force the app name, the module refuses to launch

These work:
net_rim_bb_facebook
operette$2dhifi

These don't:
net_rim_bb_facebook.facebook
operette$2dhifi.Opera Mini

As such, questions:
1. What is the proper module name for YM?
2. How do I add application names for homescreen icons? What is the logic behind it? (what is that dot after module name for? what names are acceptable? Can I type in "BBM" for opera mini module and it will still work?)

Thanks

thats odd about facebook. The proper name for launching it is net_rim_bb_facebook.Facebook i dont about yahoo.....

2) Not sure I understand you question... app names meaning the code name to launch? or the visible name on screen?

I just figured out how we're supposed to go with these 3rd parties

Basically, calling its module by itself works fine, but if you want a text to appear on homescreen (when in focus), you need to call its explicit name after the module name. Using any other name renders the icon useless completely

So, for facebook, you need to use "Facebook" with uppercase F, you can't use "facebook" with lowercase f, because that's the app name (not module name)

I don't understand how RIM developers think it's a good approach or how they make it that way in the first place

as ridiculous as it seems, here's the code for YM:
net_rim_bb_qm_yahoo.Yahoo! Messenger

Yes, complete with the "!" and space between the first word and second. it works exactly like YM (it displays your availability status once you're logged in)

I don't know, that YM incident could be Composer or Theme Builder's fault. Because for some reason setup bluetooth and WiFi doesn't work while I never touched their code, and this time around YM works properly. This could be Theme Builder choking up and randomly crash an instance

Now I just need to figure out Opera Mini's explicit name. It should be "Opera Mini", but I'll try "Opera%20Mini" and see if it works
