In truth, there is no reason why the two frontends have different names for 
the same dialog. As the one thinking most deeply about the UI is John, I'd 
say that the Qt frontend is the one to follow here. If you want to make an 
early impact, why not fix the titles of the xforms dialogs?

More entertainingly, you might set the title in the controller's 
constructor. It is already stored in the controller I believe.

I'm not sure if this latter proposal will be viewed as unnecessrily 
restrictive however.

Angus (much too lazy to do either himself).
