[Feature Request] Dialogs should show which Notebook they belong to

Bug Description

Dialogs like the Task List or the Notebook Search can be opened per Notebook simultaneously. But two Task Lists only differ in their icons in the upper left corner of their windows. The newest default theme in Ubuntu even hides this icon. And the reporter of bug 298047 proposes to always show the zim icon there.

This is why I'd like to propose that (optimally every) Zim dialog shows the name of the Notebook it belongs to in its window title. E.g:
"Search MyNotebook - Zim" instead of just "Search - Zim" or
"Task List of MyNotebook - Zim" instead of just "Task List - Zim"

Would like to avoid very long window titles by default. But maybe we can make this optional?

Optional would be ok for me.

But if I look at my open windows at the moment, most titles are 50 chars
or more - Firefox, Terminal, Evolution. I would truncate extra-long
Notebook names to e.g. 25 chars including ellipsis:
  "My extra very long Notebook name" -> "My extra very long Not..."
This would be wise for Netbooks and against buffer overflow attacks.
