Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

The window title should end with the application name, " - Rhythmbox" in this case. I see no reason for Rhythmbox not to follow this convention. Without the application name in the title it is much harder to find Rhythmbox in a list of windows. I use the Blackbox window manager by the way.

Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04

My problem with that would be that the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/2.32/windows-primary.html.en#primary-window-titles) says that "Including the application name in the title of a document-based application is not recommended."
