One solution an one workaround:

Solution (in theory, not tested)

The main Eclipse Windows is a WorkbenchWindow for the org.eclipse.ui plugin. It is created by the platform plugin.
If you look into the resources files within the org.eclipse.platform, you could see some files able to keep this value (for you to change it)

I have found:

eclipse-3.5.1\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.platform_3.3.201.v200909170800\about.properties

It contains:

blurb=Eclipse Platform\n\

eclipse-3.5.1\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.platform_3.3.201.v200909170800\plugin.properties

With:

pluginName=Eclipse Platform
providerName=Eclipse.org

productName=Eclipse Platform
productBlurb=Eclipse Platform\n\

Try and modify those values to see if the display can change. (I would bet on plugin.properties productBlurb)

Just tested: it does not change the display, so you need to explore some of the jars in the plugins directory of eclipse. In theory, you could change one of its resource file...

Workaround (if the previous section does not work)

My eclipse3.5 actually displays the name of the current perspective.

For instance; the Php perspective would be displayed in the header left hand corner:

So one solution would be to save your favorite perspective as "Ashu - Php Debug", and you would get what you want.
(see "create your own perspective" article)

That would need to be redefined for every perspective you are usually using.
And it would still have "Eclipse" at the end...
