Bug Description
Binary package hint: qemu-kvm
# Abstract
Launching a vm with the '-name string' cmdline option to set the name of the guest to a particular string correctly sets the window decoration title but not the title used in 'window list' gnome-panel (only its tooltip).
# Description
If I specify 'kvm -name RHEL.5.1', I correctly see 'QEMU (RHEL.5.1)' in the window decoration title, but the 'window list' gnome-panel down the bottom merely displays 'QEMU' still. It is only if I hover over the entry down the bottom that I am shown the full 'QEMU (RHEL.5.1)' title. Ideally this should be always used so that multiple qemu windows can be quick switched between (especially when they have been grouped).

Thanks for the report.
I'm not a Gnome developer, and I have no idea how to solve this.
Do you?
