 With a little iface.mainWindow().setWindowTitle(...) magic we can set
the title bar to anything from a python plugin. So when you've decided
on a sensible default we can let the advanced user have a title that
can be anything, with version and project strings being replacements
of %v, %p, and so on.

That should keep everyone happy, and might make a nice simple plugin
project for a beginner.
