Naming log4j threads

I'm certain there's a bugzilla ticket for this, but even if there  
wasn't there should be, but we are the middle of cleaning up thread  
names in our app to easily identify their uses, and ran into the  
FileWatchdog.

Obviously a consistent pattern of thread names would be good across  
log4j threads.  Here's a straw-man for consideration:

   protected
   FileWatchdog(String filename) {
     super("log4j-FileWatchdog");


Thoughts?

I'm sorry, but, unfortunately, I have "no objections".  I guess you'll have to 
come up with a different approach.  Heh :-)

cool, bug found.  Now, any consensus on naming patterns?  I'd plan to  
prefix all thread names with 'log4j-' and use a sensible suffice  
depending on the usage (make it aligned with the class name that  
launched it if that made logical sense).

Unless there's no objections I'll try that approach... ?
