I'm using the following code to set my window and icon names in Epoch.
I set my window names to be the buffer name with "@ <hostname>" after
it. My icon names are just the buffer names. (I hate wide icons!)

GWM changes my window names for me just fine. They get out of sync
once in a while, but I think that that is a problem with Epoch not
calling the set-window-buffer-hook often enough.

Ok. So not I've got a window with ".profile.gwm @ phoenix" at the top.
"M-ESC (title)" returns the same string. "M-ESC (icon-name" returns
".profile.gwm", just like it should. But when I iconize the window, it
gets named "icon".

Anybody? Here is my Epoch code to set the window name.

(defun set-window-name (win)
  (let* ((buff (window-buffer win))
	 (name (or (and buff (buffer-name buff)) "# No-Name #") )
	 (scr (epoch::screen-of-window win)))
    (if (and buff (buffer-file-name buff))
	(progn (epoch::title (concat name " @ " (system-name)) scr)
	       (epoch::icon-name name scr)))))

(setq set-window-buffer-hook 'set-window-name)


Here is my GWM code dealing with the icons.

(customize simple-icon any Emacs               simple-icon.background (color-make "wheat"))
(customize simple-icon any MiniBuffer          simple-icon.background (color-make "wheat"))
(set-icon-window any        simple-icon)

This is a GWM bug - GWM misses the icon name change event. If
(icon-name) returns the correct icon name, then the property is set
the right way, and there's nothing more Epoch can do about it. Setting
it again will fix the problem, but it doesn't help to just set it
twice originally (because the problem stems from too many events at
once, adding more will just make it worse).
