Nothing in Emacs variables (I'm testing with emacs -Q).

I just realized that something wasn't clear in my bug-report. The frame
does have a name, that can be changed with emacs -Q -T "Hello" for
instance. This name is displayed by the windows manager when
browsing through all open windows with Alt-Tab.

However its icon is the generic one used for unidentified applications,
even though there is a desktop file for Emacs windows which is used when
running older versions of Emacs.
