Bug ID: 467840
Summary: KDialog always has "-- KDialog" in titlebar, is
meaningless to user
Classification: Applications
Product: kdialog
Version: 22.12.3
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: br...@frogmouth.net
Reporter: k...@callthecomputerdoctor.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Right now, KDialog always displays "KDialog" in the title bar, or the suffix "-
KDialog" even if a title is set using the --title argument.
Recently, it was decided that "it's an implementation detail meaningless to the
user" to have "-- Portal" or "- PolicyKit1 KDE Agent" in the title bar of their
respective windows:

I feel, and have seen other feedback, that having "KDialog" is meaningless to
the user. "KDialog" is only meaningful to programmers and is visual noise
otherwise; for 98% of users, it's something that they have to read and ignore,
which makes KDE appear technical to users. Yes, we can see it's a dialog window
by its very nature, we don't need it spelled out to us.
Can the same fix be applied to KDialog windows? The method was:
Unset QApplication::applicationDisplayName()
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. kdialog --sorry "So sorry that you will see the words in the title bar"
--title "Hello"
2. kdialog --sorry "So sorry that you will see the words in the title bar"
3. kdialog --getopenfilename ~/ "audio/mpeg" --title "Hello"
"KDialog" is present, even in standard open file windows.
EXPECTED RESULT
Have an empty title bar by default. If a coder wants to have their title bar
contain "KDialog", they could manually add it back in with the --title
argument.
