Always using > the F name seems better. I thought about using the xterm's title as the frame's name. People may wish to use the name displayed in the xterm's title because it's more descriptive, and thuis more easily remembered, than F. In effect, the string in the title could act as the frame's name, making the use of set-frame-name unnecessary. (Which means, btw, that, if Miles's suggestion is implemented, we should decide what to do with set-frame-name: should it affect the xterm title or the F displayed in the mode line [or both]).
