Description Craig Drummond 2023-02-19 08:15:07 UTC

SUMMARY
When the authentication required diaog is shown, the window titlebar contains "- PolicyKit1 KDE Agent" - most non-techy users would have no idea what this means. Perhaps it would be better if this part of the title bar was just not shown?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use system settings to create new user
2. Press "Create" button
3. Authentication dialog is shown

OBSERVED RESULT
As stated "Authentication Required - PolicyKit1 KDE Agent" shown in titlebar.

EXPECTED RESULT
Just "Authentication Required" shown in titlebar.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 22.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Kernel Version: 5.19.0-31-generic (64-bit)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Nicolas Fella 2023-02-24 12:40:31 UTC

From a technical POV this is a bit tricky, the "application" name is set by Qt internally. See https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-111497

Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-02-28 18:23:18 UTC

Per the resolution to that bug report, Qt devs say we can do this ourselves by clearing the display name.

Unset QApplication::applicationDisplayName()

Otherwise auth windows get '- PolicyKit1 KDE Agent' added to their window title, which should be avoided because it's an implementation detail meaningless to the user
