> much better.  I think I regard this new behaviour as a bug.

If you use the widget name for the title you have two problems.  One you
end up with two widgets with the same name (the bb and the dialog shell), so
you can't specify the resources separately.  Two you end up with a name
that's hard to specify in the resources file.  (Consider a dialog entitled:
"Poste - Quit Dialog" in a resource file.)  I think the use of the widget
name as the title was a cute hack, but not really proper.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
