We should do this conditionally and use -[NSProcessInfo processName] on platforms where it is thread-safe.

If _NSGetExecutablePath fails we’ll do this work every time the function is called.  Is that expected?  Does _NSGetExecutablePath fail temporarily and then later give us valid results?

It would’ve been nicer if WKSetVisibleApplicationName took an NSString*.

Brace should move to the next line.

It would be better factoring to have this in a separate function called createProcessName.

And if we want to leak this can we just strdup instead of using a CString?

That’s an admirable FIXME, but what’s your plan here?

Sure, I'll do that. (On platforms where NSProcessInfo is thread-safe I'll just have processName() return -[NSProcessInfo processName]).

Yes.

I don't know how to set up the localization infrastructure, but we should probably do it sooner rather than later.
