Title of out-of-browser applet window must be configurable

      Currently the new plugin sets the title of the applet window (the one that appears
      in the Windows XP task bar, for example) to the applet's classname.

      So, if you have a simple Java applet with classname org.foo.Bar, the user will see
      "Bar" in their taskbar. Even worse, for JavaFX applets, the applet machinery is
      in a class called Applet, so the user will always see "Applet" in their taskbar,
      which looks very unprofessional and can be confusing if the user has dragged out
      more than one applet.

      There needs to be a way to control this title. The plugin should look at the name
      of the applet, as in:
          <applet name="My Special Widget">
      or some similar solution.
