What do you see when you launch GNU Emacs with the option -Q? Then no  
start-up file is loaded and executed and you see the native  
behaviour. Interactively you can set your customisation and see  
whether it persists when you load files and change buffers. If not,  
then probably nothing's wrong with your site-start.el or .emacs – and  
all seems to be intended.

Another way is to use setq-default instead of setq. You can also try  
to set frame-title-format in initial-frame-alist and/or in default- 
frame-alist. I simply use an X resource to set a steady frame title:

        Emacs*Title:          "Pete's Latschen"

I use X resources also to distinguish between remotely running  
Emacsen that show up locally (besides colours).
