Is it possible to have SSRS's Report Manager display a report name that is not the .RDL file name?

I.E. I have a Report .RDL named "MyReportAboutSomeImportantStuff.RDL" but I want the Report Manager to display this user friendly as "My Report About Some Important Stuff."

Yes, it's possible. After deploying to the reportserver, you can browse to the report through Report Manager and use the "Properties" tab to manually change the displayed name of the report - e.g. inserting the spaces.

If you get sick of doing this by hand (and you will), it's also possible to script this and several other post-deployment operations using rs.exe. See TechNET: Scripting Deployment and Administrative Tasks
