Describe the bug

Originally mentioned as a toga issue, when running a toga app with briefcase the app does not display the correct name in the title bar area.

Both briefcase run and briefcase package have the same issue. When the app gets ran it goes based on the exec file name and not on the name entry provided. I have not found the exact reason for this yet, from all the testing and searching I can find online, setting the name entry should be all that is needed but this is not following that for some reason.

Steps to reproduce

Run briefcase run or package and check the application title in the title bar.

Expected behavior

Shows name provided as the project_name or formal_name.

You can use "Gnome on Xorg" desktop.
I using "Gnome on Xorg" desktop, this error is not.

@yjlc-pc "Use an old and increasingly unmaintained solution" isn't really a viable fix. Wayland is where all Linux desktop software is moving, and it's the default GUI for almost every major Linux distro; we need to be able to work there.
