How to assign a name to emacsclient's frame?

[anhnmncb]

hi, 
As the title, after create lots of emacsclient frame by emacsclient -c,
I couldn't distinct which one is the server one, I want to assign a
name to emacsclient like
     emacsclient -name emacsc -c
so it will show at the title bar.

Also, I could make use of this title name for my fvwm to determine which desk it
would be there. So I could better manage emacsclient frame.
Any good advices?

Maybe you can use a combination of "server-visit-hook" (description
says: Hook run when visiting a file for the Emacs server.) and frame
local variables. Something like:

(setq server-visit-hook 'my-server-visit-hook)
(make-variable-frame-local 'frame-title-format)

(defun my-server-visit-hook ()
  (make-local-variable 'frame-title-format)
  (setq frame-title-format "Emacsclient: %b")
  )

The code above evaluated on the scratch buffer seems to work, but i
don't know if it breaks something else. ^__^
