   The manager dashboard loads the site name in a different way compared to using [[++site_name]] in the front-end... not sure if that is something we can override cleanly from a plugin..

   I tried to deal with this too with no luck, but I've found an easy way to completely change the setting you wish to. Let's assume you have option called "site_name" in ClientConfig. Rename it to something like "website_name". Now you just have to add the following code inside your ClientConfig plugin:

   ...
   $newname = $settings['website_name']; // this will work only within ClientConfig's plugin
   $sitename = $modx->getObject('modSystemSetting', 'site_name');
   $sitename->set('value', $newname);
   $sitename->save();
   ...
   break;
   

   Now every time when you change "website_name" inside ClientConfig, the real "site_name" setting will be updated as well. Of course this's not a fix, but just a workaround. It works well in my case (I tried to alter "emailsender" setting from within ClientConfig).

   In 1.4 with the change per #109/#115, overriding the site_name also works. I didn't try overriding the emailsender, but I suppose that'll work now too.
