My guess would be that this is an issue with RH9's emacs configuration and not gnome. I suspect emacs is setting it's own title and that gnome is just using what it gets from emacs. A cursory googling lead me to this page: http://ftp.us.xemacs.org/ftp/pub/xemacs/Attic/faq/HTML/XEmacs-faq_15.html which suggests to me that you'll want to add a line like this to your .emacs file: (setq frame-title-format "%f") That page also suggests (setq frame-title-format '("%S: " (buffer-file-name "%f" (dired-directory dired-directory "%b")))) --Ben On Mon, 2003-10-13 at 00:11, Ilkka Karasalo wrote: > 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.
