Good point, but as a developer i could say we can make it
configurable. I mean a generic panel can have the name into its
configuration file and shown on title, while to run it a script
called mcc can run "generic_panel -c mcc.conf" for instance,
we can also fix that as default forcing mageia behaviour :)

Said that we're using libyui, that is a work in progress abstraction
for the Suse Yast panel, so we're not reinvent the wheel :)

Cheers,
