I had a look at the source (starting from syms_of_nsfns, nsfsn.m).
Are you referring to the frame-title-format lisp variable perhaps?  I tried:

(setq frame-title-format “%b”)

in my .emacs (the default value was t).  This should make Emacs call ns_set_name instead of ns_set_name_as_filename in x_implicitly_set_name, nsfns.m.

Now my frames no longer have any icon, just the buffer name.  If this setting looks good you, I will keep it and see what happens.  If this is not what you had in mind, please let me know.

I also spotted the icon-title-format variable, but I didn’t touch it.  Sorry if I wrote/did something silly, I am not an expert on the Emacs code base.

Thanks again,
Ivan
