It's true that the full path would be a big improvement for the
titlebar, but iconname slots have limited width, & the significant part
of the path would often be missing.

I'm not sure I understand your last sentence.  By 'short-name/full-name
mechanism', do you mean what I've described, or something that exists in
texmacs at the moment?  I'm using 1.0.4 from debian unstable.

Also, the method I was hoping for (as with vim) requires no user
interaction ... the user just changes buffers & the
my-init-buffer.scm/vimrc callbacks change the iconname.  Maybe you meant
'user programming'.

I've had a look at the source.  Would it be a reasonable approach to try
to create a scheme binding for x_window_rep::set_name()?   

Thanks,
