Especially in the case of Emacs... I take it that in this context you mean that, for you, switching apps amounts to switching window-mgr windows. In general, an app can have more than one window. I mentioned a web browser (an app), for example, which can have multiple windows and multiple tabs in a window. > The buffer name is only useful whenever I have two emacs > frames on the same workspace. ... > > the default=C2=A0frame name does not make it as easy to identify > emacs as other software. Fair enough. When you window-switch, does the method you use to do that show you app _icons_? If so, and assuming you can distinguish the icons OK, is that less helpful than having text that says "Emacs"? E.g., to switch windows do you use completion perhaps, so you need to actually type part of the app name: `e TAB' or some such? Obviously, different users work differently and do different things. Maybe there is not one reasonable default frame config for all. Maybe a small set of such configs would make sense, letting users at least choose among them (as opposed to digging into detail to configure `frame-title-format', which users can of course always do). But then we'd have to choose which of that small number of choices should be the overall default. ;-)
