I'm confused -- is there actually any question that this is a useful
feature? I'm constantly annoyed by `full screen' programs in terminal
emulators that _don't_ update the titlebar; it's a very useful feature,
above and beyond the mode-line.

That seems silly; why not just do _both_? The `Fn' notation doesn't
take up much room in the mode-line, and is simply _different_
information that the actual title. They're both handy. So why not
introduce the concept of a `frame index' and display F%d of that in the
mode-line on terminals (hell some people might want to display it in X
too -- it's just a generally handy concept, given that the emacs frame
commands tend to cycle through frames in order). [I _think_ this is
the last possibility you suggested in your original post]
