Subject: bug#41147: A modern frame-title-format
Date: Sun, 10 May 2020 18:31:53 +0200

I did some research and as I understand it the GNOME guidelines 
recommends just "%b", even when there is only one frame.

Many programs use the style "%b - GNU Emacs". E.g. gvim, Gimp, Firefox, 
and LibreOffice.

Either way it seems popular to place the document name first, which 
makes sense.
