[Bug 1046094] [NEW] Install RELEASE visible in the title bar. Missing API call to set unity menubar name?!

Public bug reported:

* Launch Ubuntu Desktop CD
* Choose Try Ubuntu
* Start Installer
* Notice that the top left unity bar says "Install RELEASE"

I believe this is taken from the .desktop file which has an explicit
comment not to translate that string.

Why this is nice and everything, there really should be a call into Gtk?
Bamf? Unity? Compiz? to substitue that string and set it to something
sensible e.g. "Install Ubuntu 12.10" (it can also be Xubuntu, Edubuntu,
Lubuntu, etc depending on which ISO it is)

Please point me to the right api to do this.
