I'm not a Mac user, but I've read something about this recently.
Unfortunately, I think it was in the latest issue of Qt Quarterly,
and this isn't online yet.

I don't think the menu bar will help you. If you're using PyQt4,
Q[Core]Application's applicationName property might be useful.

Otherwise, you might need to look at how the application is packaged.
See these answers about C++ and qmake for information about deployment
on Mac OS X, and the Info.plist file in particular:

I don't think that setting window titles will help, though that's also
worth trying.

Let us know if you find a solution.
