Resources are looked up by finding a constant defined on
Chef::Resource matching the CamelCased name of the method you called,
so calling pylabs_qshell causes chef to look for
Chef::Resource::PylabsQshell. I'm not sure what the resource_name is
used for, but it doesn't manipulate the way the method names map to
resource classes.
