[sorry for top posting, but I follow the thread ]
You can add this little snippet to your .emacs:
(defun set-title-to-buffer-name ()
(modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame)
(list (cons 'name (buffer-name)))))
(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'set-title-to-buffer-name)
This works in FSF emacs, I'm quiet sure it will work in xemacs.
What it does: whenever you open (find-file) a new file,
it will change the title of the working frame.
Ehud.
