Attached is a patch that gives the option to show the clock and timer
information in the frame title as well as the mode line (or both or
neither). I find this useful as there is often not enough room in the
mode line but there is enough in the frame title.
I am in the process of assigning my copyright to the FSF for this and
hopefully future org-mode contributions. I submit the patch now and
request comments as this is my first contribution to the project.
Thanks,
George.

Hi George!
Thanks for the patch!
First comment :)
This patch needs a changelog entry in the commit text and a long
description would also be appreciated. The long description allows us
to see the purpose of the patch and how to use it without the necessity
to read and parse any of the code changes.
Thanks and Regards,
Bernt

Ok, I've done a changelog entry. I hope this is what is expected.
(Also fixed a minor bug in original patch and added better documentation
to the new custom variable).
The patch adds options to both org-clock and org-timer regarding how the
current clock/timer is displayed. Currently they are both displayed in
the mode line. This is not ideal since if you split your window
horizontally then the mode line becomes quite short so often the clock
is truncated and the timer might not even be visible.
The new options control whether the clock/timer is displayed in the mode
line and/or frame title. The frame title is usually wasted space for
people running a graphical version of emacs so it is quite useful there
I think.

Subject: [PATCH] Option for clock and timer to be displayed in frame-title
* lisp/org-clock.el: Add variable org-clock-clocked-in-display which controls
whether the current clock is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
* lisp/org-timer.el: Add variable org-timer-display which controls whether the
current timer is displayed in the mode line and/or frame title.
This allows the clock and timer to be displayed in the frame title instead of,
or as well as, the mode line. This is useful for people with limited space in
the mode line but with ample space in the frame title.

Thanks! I use frames on Windows at work and no frames on Linux (in
xmonad) at home. I tend to run with emacs full screen so I haven't
my modeline is long enough for me -- but it will be interesting to see
how the frame title clock works.

Hi George,
I tried this patch at work and it hangs my Emacs session in Windows on
startup. It's totally unresponsive and I have to kill the process with
the task manager.
I think there's an implementation problem here but I don't have any
other useful information about what it might be.
Regards,
Bernt

Nevermind... it seems to be working on Windows now. I'm not sure what
happened the first time. I'll report any other issues I find with this.
Thanks!

Thanks for testing the patch. That's quite alarming and I have no idea
why this would happen. Can you change the frame title by doing (setq
frame-title-format ...) on Windows emacs normally? I don't currently
have any Windows boxen to test this on unfortunately.
Also, what emacs version are you running?
Thanks,
George.

Hi!
> Can you change the frame title by doing (setq
> frame-title-format ...) on Windows emacs normally?
Just to let you know, I am using Windows Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.2.3790)
I tried:
(setq-frame-title-format "This is a test.")
in the *scratch* window and got:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function setq-frame-title-format)
(setq-frame-title-format "This is a test.")
eval((setq-frame-title-format "This is a test."))
eval-last-sexp-1(t)
eval-last-sexp(t)
eval-print-last-sexp()
call-interactively(eval-print-last-sexp nil nil)
I'm a little behind the current Emacs, but not that much. However, I have noticed other frame and window manipulation functions that are available on UNIX, but not Windows.
Hope this helps!

The correct invocation is
(setq frame-title-format "This is a test.")
frame-title-format is a variable.

Yes it was a bit alarming... but it seems to be working for now
GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2011-03-10 on 3249CTO
I don't have frames on my Linux machine and I find the time in the title
hard to find since it's the same colour as the rest of the frame title.
I think I'll stick to the modeline for now. Most of my windows are
fullscreen so that works for me.

Bernt

This has been applied to master.
Please test and confirm it works as expected.
