From: Santiago Payà i Miralta
Subject: bug#67444: [PATCH] FAQ: Improve explanation of showing file name in titlebar
Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2023 14:29:16 +0100

* doc/misc/efaq.texi (Displaying the current file name in the
titlebar): Add example code to show the real file name in the
titlebar, not just the buffer name, with the additional dired buffer
case, and the last default buffer name.
