Re: Frame title problem

[Jan Djärv]

So the shortname is known to the X Server but the fqdn is not?  This is so 
naive.  The identity of a machine is not so simple as kwin people would wish, 
but I guess they are too lazy to fix their bad code.  So I changed Emacs so it 
lets the X libs set WM_CLIENT_MACHINE.  Please try it and see if it works.
If not, I guess Xorg and KDE have to battle it out.
