> When 'KDialog::setCaption(QString, bool)' was moved to 'KMainWindow::setCaption(QString, bool)' for kf5, it was dumped that the old code also called ' makeStandardCaption(...)' which would add a custom "[modified]" string if the 'modified' flag was set. See http://api.kde.org/4.x-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kdeui/html/kdialog_8cpp_source.html#l00475

> This patch proposes to comply to the API and to add that placeholder, so the method behaves as expected. It does not use "[modified]" flag like the kde4libs variant of the code did, but by using the Qt placeholder perhaps can even integrate better into the platform (not sure if there is a hook yet).
