Thanks for all replies. First, let me confirm that argv[0] hack works, but it seems wrong to me. What if I will need an application path to restart it? So I did a search and found that Gnome 3 is 'application based', not 'window based' system. And if you can't set app name in .desktop class, you need to set the WM_CLASS X window property. It's all described here - http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/ApplicationBased Now that it is clear that Gnome 3 requires setting application name explicitly, the question is why setApplicationName() doesn't do this? Should I fill it as a PySide bug? >> On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 5:35 PM, Lee Smith <em...@lee-smith.me.uk> wrote: >> > I think you need QMainWindow.setWindowTitle() ? >> > >> > http://www.pyside.org/docs/pyside/PySide/QtGui/QWidget.html#PySide.QtGui. >> > PySide.QtGui.QWidget.setWindowTitle >> > >> > Lee >> > >> > On 21 October 2011 14:54, anatoly techtonik <techto...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Maybe I am missing something really obvious, but how to set >> >> application name for PySide?
