Error dialogs should at least display the app name

I have encountered with the following error dialog that appears when Joplin (Linux edition) becomes unresponsive.

The dialog does not display the app name or icon, which makes it difficult to identify which app has triggered the error. This can lead to confusion, especially when multiple GUI applications are running simultaneously.

I had to use the xprop or xwininfo command (I forget which one I used) to identify the app that displayed this dialog.

Please consider adding the app name (and icon if possible) to the error dialog. This small change would enhance the user experience by providing clarity and helping users quickly identify the source of the issue.

AppImage, Flatpack or Snap? I'm not certain, but they might all handle it differently. And it might depend on your window manager/distribution, too.

My setup is the following.

  • Joplin 3.0.15 (Flatpak)
  • Ubuntu 22.04
  • GNOME 42.9
  • X11
