I am using Emacs 24.5.1 on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, with Gnome 3.16, and the title of the GTK window with Emacs in it is always emacs@hostname
. How can I change it to the name of the current file I'm editing?

The file name as frame name
(setq-default frame-title-format '("%f"))
The file name and the major mode as frame name (my conf)
(setq-default frame-title-format '("%f [" mode-name "]"))

%m
is now deprecated in favor of the variablemode-name

Make emacs' window title show path of the current file:
(setq-default frame-title-format
'(:eval
(format "%s@%s: %s %s"
(or (file-remote-p default-directory 'user)
user-real-login-name)
(or (file-remote-p default-directory 'host)
system-name)
(buffer-name)
(cond
(buffer-file-truename
(concat "(" buffer-file-truename ")"))
(dired-directory
(concat "{" dired-directory "}"))
(t
"[no file]")))))
C-x 5 f
- then each frame will show the buffer name as title. It's only when you have just a single frame that you see "emacs@hostname".
