Rhythmbox should be shown in the window title

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

FYI: upstream Bug 529585 – Rhythmbox should be shown in the window title
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529585

There should be an option to prefix the window title with the string "Rhythmbox." The current behavior is to show only the currently playing (or paused) song. The problem with that is that unlike any of my other task window titles, Rhythmbox's changes every few minutes. When I have a lot of tasks running, it's difficult to scan the task bar and find Rhythmbox, especially if it's paused, since I have to scan and look for a song name, which requires a lot more parsing than a simple string search, e.g., for the open document I know I'm working on. The ability to prefix it with "Rhythmbox" would make it much easier to find.

I'm sure that would bug many people, so this would have to be an off-by-default option.

Related, a more distinctive icon would help too. As I scan my current task bar, the Firefox icon is the only one that's easy to see. Various terminals, file managers, OO.o, MythTV and other icons including Rhythmbox are perhaps too subtle.

Thanks for your report, there's no need to fil the bug here if you already do it on the upstream bug tracker doing it there is enough. thanks.
