External launchers change window title

[Cody Garver]

Launch "Language Support" and observe that Switchboard's window title changes to "System Settings - Language Support" as if it were launching a native plug. It should not change the window title at all.

Maybe we should just drop these two miserable external plugs and port them to the d-bus/xembed way in which native plugs work?

Definitely the plan is to eventually only have 100% native Switchboard plugs. But of course we have to make some concessions for now due to available manpower ;) The question is: which is more work? Fixing this bug or porting those plugs?

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

By working it around in Switchboard we create an architecturally incompatible codebase (i.e. the rest of Switchboard is not supposed to serve such use case at all) that will probably result in a lot of bugs and/or hacks.

On the other hand, nobody except xapantu knows how to patch the GNOME apps. There was a private discussion of it with System76 and they've successfully ported their plug, but I'm not sure if how to export the thread from GMail. Doesn't seem too difficult if you know how to do it, though; should take just several lines of code as far as I understand.
