Hi,
when opening multiple wireshark instances, locally or via X11, they all look
the same in the task bar of the desktop environment because the customizable
gui windows title is at the end . there was a time when customizing the windows
title allowed easier distinguishing between the multiple instances, but sadly
it disappeared at one time ( probably between 1.8 and 1.10 ) . as a workaround
i often reinstall from source and patch as this :

thank for considering an evolution where the customisation of gui_window_title
would be visible even when the task bar is crowded.
Regards,
Yann.
