The value of WM_CLASS in IPython qtconsole is empty. about qtconsole

[takluyver]

That page has an example to set it for PyGObject code. If there's a simple equivalent you can find for PyQt, pull requests are welcome.

Please take a look at here, here, and here.
These are not solutions but they may be useful.

On my GNOME 3 desktop (Debian testing), I do already see a title:

@takluyver, I think the problem is with KDE.

[takluyver]

The OP said "This makes the app to have no title in Gnome Shell."

[ccordoba12]

Oops, sorry, didn't read that part. I said it because we had a report from a KDE guy about this problem a couple of months ago.

[takluyver]

It's entirely possible that there's something similar going on in KDE.

Just to add... I am in gnome-shell since two days ago (still looking "my" perfect desk env), and I can see the logo as @takluyver mentioned...

[damianavila]

But I can not see the title... at least with IPython 3.1.0:

[takluyver]

@damianavila - are you launching that from a terminal, or from the launcher? What version of GNOME do you have? I seem to be on 3.14.4.

[damianavila]

@takluyver, from a terminal.... GNOME Shell 3.10.4, maybe that's the issue...

[takluyver]

When I launch it from a terminal, I see the name Qtconsoleapp.py. I'm not sure exactly how it's getting that - maybe PyQt can use the name of the file that instantiates the QApplication.

@takluyver try restarting your Gnome shell (alt+F2, type r and press enter); will the title go away or change to Qtconsoleapp.py? I am using Arch Linux + Gnome 3.16.
