Thank you for reporting this issue. I wanted to start by pointing out a finer detail: the XFCE program title on the task switcher (the thing you're reporting and I don't have a clue how to describe) is not the same as the default window title (the program title is "Tk" and the default window title is "tk").

Going further, we can show this is not a tkinter issue by running wish and changing the window title (`wm title . {Test App}`). The result is the program title as "Wish" and the subtitle as "Test App". In short, tkinter sits on-top Tcl/Tk and it is quite probable that Tk is the program XFCE *saw* as reponsible for the window. I think its unlikely you could change this without modifying and compiling your own version of Tk (someone please do correct me if I'm wrong).

Again, thank you for reporting this issue, though I think it should be closed.

> the taskbar entry is 'Python 3.6.9 Shell' (ought really to be 'IDLE')

I agree the current title is probably not ideal (there are lots people when first starting who think the IDLE shell *is the* Python shell) though I think we still need the version and word "shell" in it (e.g. "IDLE 3.6.9 Shell"). I personally don't see it as too big an issue, but have nosied Terry in case he wants to add something on this.
