I'm not familiar with this usage of setting application_name in
postgresql.conf - usually I set it as part of the database connection.
For example:

//In Pike:
object
db=Sql.Sql("pgsql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST/DATABASE",(["search_path":"SCHEMA,public","application_name":"APPLICATION"]));

//In PHP:
$db=pg_connect('dbname=DATABASE host=HOST user=USER password=PASSWORD');
pg_query($db,"set application_name='APPLICATION'");
pg_query($db,"set search_path to SCHEMA,public");
