What about this:
(setq-default
frame-title-format
'(:eval
(format "%s@%s:%s"
(or (file-remote-p default-directory 'user) user-login-name)
(or (file-remote-p default-directory 'host) system-name)
(file-name-nondirectory (or (buffer-file-name) default-directory)))))
It needs Emacs 23.1, due to the parameters of file-remote-p.
Best regards, Michael.

Works wonders! I am on Emacs 23.1. ;)
However because of all the different machines and different usernames, I
rely on my ~/.ssh/config to specify the username on the remote machine.
So I open a remote file like this,
`/ssh:remote-host-alias:/path/to/file'
Probably that is why the frame title shows up as,
`local-user@remote-host:file'
But I think I can live with that. Thanks a lot Michael. :)

Yes. Tramp does not know the application specific configuration.

So either you obmit the user part in the frame title (it is of no use
for you then), or you write your own small function which extracts it
from ~/.ssh/config.
Best regards, Michael.

Yes I ended up commenting that one out. :) Trying to write a function to
extract the username from ~/.ssh/config would be a good exercise in lisp
for a newbie like me. Thanks, I appreciate the help.

I ended up using something like this. This sets the frame-title to just
the buffer-name for special buffers and uses the buffer name as set by
uniquify when visiting files with same names. Maybe some one else will
find this useful.

Hi everyone,
I do a lot of remote editing on several remote machines. I recently came
across the variable `frame-title-format' and was wondering if there is a
way to set the hostname of the file being edited and the file name as
the frame title? Something like file@remote-host.
I don't even know where to start looking, any pointers would be awesome. :)
