Yes it is for 2.x series, perhaps for 2.1 once the core code stabilizes.
I am afraid I cannot disclose any timing yet.

Kexi supports captions in addition to names for table, queries, etc.
They just not appear in the project navigator _for now_.
The goal for this was to present the names in the same way as the
database server sees them.
Of course relevant options that affect display of names, are posible
to implement and that's in fact on out TODO list.

PS: could you please CC general discussion to kexi@... next time?
