Controlling menubar title on Ubuntu 11.10?

I don't think you understand the problem.  I know how to set the window 
title.  What I need to know is how to set the menu bar title.  The menu 
bar is unique to Ubuntu's Unity desktop, which is why this is the 
appropriate mailing list.

When I set setWindowTitle("Choose the file you wish to play"), then 
Unity's menu bar calls my application "Choose the file you wish to play".
