By default, the window title of my plot seems to be “GKS QtTerm”, is there a way to set this to something that I choose? I tried

```julia
using Plots
plot(; window_title="Abc")

```

but this does not change the anything that I can see. I am using Julia 1.11.6 with Plots 1.40.17 on Linux.

If [GLMakie](https://makie.org/website/) is an option, you can do:

```julia
using GLMakie
GLMakie.activate!(title="Your title") # set it for the duration of the session
# or only for a certain window:
fig = scatter(1:4)
display(fig; title="my title")
# or for a new window
display(GLMakie.Screen(title="my title"), fig)
```

This issue is not important enough for me to use another plotting package, but thanks for the reply none the less 🙂
