It's not wired up, in a sense. This property is provided automatically
by Qt (>= 4.4), but it's never set in the code.
BTW: if you want the "Name of Application", you should use
TW.app.applicationName, which indeed should be set.
To get the version of Tw, you can use TW.app.getVersion(). The return
value is in the form of 0xMMNNPP, with MM=major version, NN=minor
version, PP=bugfix, so at the moment this would return 0x000300. This is
not human-readable (as applicationVersion should be), but much more
useful in scripts for testing the current version.
