468362 - Add support for modifying titlebar text in distribution.js

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Distributions, enhancement)

Description

[Kev Needham [:kev]]

This is a feature enhancement request for the distribution.js module.

A popular request for customized distributions are to modify the titlebar text string (currently the short product name), similar to what was possible with the CCK wizard. We'd like to provide similar functionality through the distribution.js module by specifying the titlebar text using a localizable, global configuration directive in distribution.ini

i.e.

[Global]
titlebartext=titlebar text
titlebartext.<locale_code1>=localizable titlebar text
titlebartext.<locale_code2>=more localized titlebar text

Notes:
- directive should support UTF-8 encoded text
- localized text trumps the global version
- should be a limit to the number of characters permitted (suggest 15, need input from UX/UI team)

What is supposed to happen on the Mac, where we don't display the app name in the window title?

We don't really have titlebars anymore on any platform except XP.
