From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040928 Galeon/1.3.17 Description of problem: I set frame-title-format in my .emacs, but when emacs starts up, it somehow resets the value to "%b - emacs@<host>". This happens on 21.3-15, but not on 21.3-12. (Same version number for emacs-common and emacs, as it has to be.) If I set frame-title-format manually after emacs has completed startup, the value is set correctly, and the frame is correctly titled. I inserted (message "foo: %s" frame-title-format) throughout my .emacs, and the value was correct (i.e. what I had set it to) all the time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 21.3-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start emacs 2. Observe.. 3. Actual Results: frame-title-format is set to a default value Expected Results: frame-title-format should have been set to my chosen value. Additional info:
Thanks for reporting this: will move the setting to /etc/skel/.emacs.
Should get fixed in 21.3-16.
