+
+Good point, but as a developer i could say we can make it
+configurable. I mean a generic panel can have the name into its
+configuration file and shown on title, while to run it a script
+called mcc can run "generic_panel -c mcc.conf" for instance,
+we can also fix that as default forcing mageia behaviour :)
+
+Said that we're using libyui, that is a work in progress abstraction
+for the Suse Yast panel, so we're not reinvent the wheel :)
+
+Cheers,
