Description Nicolas Fella 2025-10-04 16:04:47 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Yakuake 
2. Have the OOM killer kill it
3. Look at notification

OBSERVED RESULT
Der Hintergrunddienst dbus-:1.2-org.kde.yakuake@0.service wurde vom Linux-Kernel beendet, weil dem System der Arbeitsspeicher auszugehen drohte. Es sollten ungenutzte Anwendungen und Unterfenster der Webbrowser geschlossen werden. 

EXPECTED RESULT
It shows "Yakuake" instead of dbus-:1.2-org.kde.yakuake@0.service

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.18.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2

Apps must start with app- to be detected as app.

outside this well defined naming scheme it's the wild west AFAIK

Looks like decodeUnitName() needs a bit more logic.
