Hee hee, I only learnt to use 127.0.0.1 because Emacs 22 / TRAMP 2.0
wasn't working with /multi:ssh:twb@foo:sudo:root@localhost:/ but it
was with 127.0.0.1.

On my system, system-name is the FQDN. Assuming system-name is what
the default frame-title-format uses, this has been the case for as
long as I can remember (back to Emacs 21).
