Comment # 4 on bug 11691 from 
I think we should add the ability to show the version number in the main window
title bar in the Qt UI but I'd prefer to have it disabled by default. 

The gui.version_placement preference controls the version in the GTK+ UI title
bar but there are a couple of issues with it. Its default value is
"version_both", which is contrary to the GNOME HIG[1][2], which for window
titles says 

"Omit information that does not assist in this selection, for example the
application's version number or vendor name." 

Two of the other values (version_title_only and version_neither) hide the
version number in the main welcome screen. I don't think that makes as much
sense for the Qt UI (bottom of the window, small text) as it did for the GTK+
UI (top of the window, medium text). What does everyone else think?

[2]The Windows UX guidelines don't seem to address version numbers in title
bars. The OS X HIG seems to be moving toward removing window titles altogether.
