I use the (undocumented) "-wn GnuEmacs" and "-in SomeOtherName" options
to x11emacs.  Just giving an argument to "-name" will not change the
titlebar.

I did this and got two buffers containing the files ``-wn'' and
``GnuEmacs''. Is there a way of having Emacs throw away these switches once
it's done with them?
