I recently upgraded from RedHat 8.0 to 9.0, and noticed the following annoying change for the worse in the RH9.0 Gnome panel:
When opening a file for editing with Emacs, Emacs creates an
X-window on the display. The name of the X-window can be
specified by a parameter in the 'emacs' command, and I usually
choose the X-window name identical to the name of the file I am
editing.
Gnome creates a toolbar button for each X-window opened in this way by an 'emacs' command. The toolbar buttons are labeled with text. In RH .0 the text on a toolbar button was the name of the X-window, i.e. the name of the file being edited.
In RH9.0, however, the text on all toolbar buttons is of the form 'emacs@xxxxxxxxxxx' , making the buttons useless for identifying their respective associated X-windows.
Can the Gnome panel toolbar buttons under RH9.0 be configured to behave as they did in RH8.0 in this respect ?
Help with this would be most welcome.
