Package: emacs21
Version: 21.1-5
Severity: normal
hi, i'm not sure if this is a bug or a 'feature' :-)
when using a command like:
(setq frame-title-format "Emacs: %b")
the frame title isn't updated until the window is displayed - so if it happens
to be iconified at the time (or, as in my case, on a different workspace), the
title assumes its old format until viewed. this breaks my sawfish code which
jumps to the emacs window, whenever i use gnuclient to connect.
if there was a good reason for this, i'll just switch to the default title.
it'd be nice if this was just an oversight, though. :-)

It is a feature (without quotation marks).

The docstring for frame-title-format reads
"Template for displaying the title bar of visible frames."
Note the *visible* here -- frames that are iconified, on a different
workspace or different display are not visible. You can and should set
the variable icon-title-format to set their title.
Closing the bug,
Sven
