Mind that normal users don't have a clue what "Qt" is. If you want to give it a name, it's the "Satoshi" client.

Well I have the impression Bitcoin-Qt is a widely accepted name: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin-Qt
We then should define how we want a CLIENT_NAME_QT to be and how we use this one definition all over the Qt version, right?
Edit: This should be used in the Window title, about and so on... currently we have no real standard there.

It's a well-accepted name in developer circles, and it's fine for things such as executable names and internal identifiers. But I'm doubtful about putting it in the interface.
I vote for keeping the title as it is, we're the reference client so we don't have to change the title to distinguish ourselves :-)
When people are asked what version they are using they should check Help->About.

Perhaps it's easier to keep it, but it's inconsequent and we are more than a wallet IMHO. We have Help->About <b>Bitcoin-Qt</b> and the popping up dialogs title is <b>About Bitcoin</b>. I would love to see some better strings for all of this in our reference client. But no ACK or suggestions means it stays the way it is ^^.
Oh and the string

@laanwj I have thought about it a little more and I have some suggestions:
- Rename Window title to
Bitcoin-Qt - Wallet-> Bitcoin-Qt is the GUI to Bitcoin and this keeps Wallet but separated by "-" to ensure users don't think the client is called "Bitcoin Wallet". - Rename
About Bitcoin-Qt->About Bitcoin-> We show version stuff that is not the Qt client version, but the Bitcoin "core" version. - Rename
Clientin the Debug window ->Core,Bitcoin CoreorCore Client-> This is clearer in terms of we use the Core and have the Qt GUI on top.
Oh and for not knowing Qt, we have an
About Qtin the GUI :).What do you think?

Yes, good proposal, except for the Qt in the title.
Qt in the about box/menu is fine, people will look there to find detailed version information.
Also note that in the future we'll have the possibility of multiple wallet windows open, as multi-wallet support is introduced. So it's good to keep the title short.
