*major caveat*: I just started building tmux from the source. Trying to answer this question was my first dive into the source.
From looking at the source (grep "set_title"), it looks like the title is automatically updated [server_client_set_title()] if you have the "set-titles" option on. Alas, if you -don't- have it on it looks like you won't get the initial change to "emacs". It looks like there is code in server_client_set_title() to explicitely change the client title back to the title derived from the template, if it has changed. I'm not sure if tmux is capturing the "\033]0;...\007" sent by emacs (or other programs) and stashing it for later restoration. It doesn't look like it, since there is no window->title or window_pane->title. So, it looks like your options are set-titles=on (too clever, what you've seen) or set-titles=off (complete dumb, leaves it up to the programs). Drew On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 4:20 AM, Trent W.
