[Interest] MenuBar QML not usable on Yosemite OSX

[mark diener]

Mr Li & ALL:

To control the display of the application name in the OSX menu bar, you
must use Info.plist -> CFBundleName.  Make sure you delete the build
directory so that QT Creator
will deploy the Plist file into the bundle.

Thanks all for Mr Li's comments.
