One of the reasons for the special name here is to emphasize special
role of "trusted window manager" - that those windows belongs to the
entity giving the user information about identity of other VM's windows.
But also, this tag will be present on qrexec confirmation prompts, which
is another reason why it needs to be easy to distinguish from yet
another VM window.

I'm not sure if actual VM name is that important in this tag. After all,
you have just one of them visible at a given time. But it might be
useful to reduce confusion (why it's called differently in different
places).
