Using the full path as the window title makes the window list thoroughly

Perhaps in general there ought to be a way for a window to suggest a
sensible "abbreviated" name to any window-list-type app (e.g. just the
current document's filename, or just the current folder name)?
Slavishly copying whatever's written in the titlebar has always seemed a
rather unhelpful idea to me, given that you're almost never going to be
able to read it all however styleguide-compliant it is.
How about
if the full path is /home/sebol/cvs/stable/nautilus/po
1. display 1st 2 front folder & 2 end folder
"/home/sebol/.../nautilus/po"
OR
2. truncate by number of char lets say 20 chars (including "/"
"...s/stable/nautilus/po"
OR
3. replace /home/sebol with ~/ but display full path
"~/cvs/stable/nautilus/po"
OR
4. just display curent folder and one parent only
".../nautilus/po"
OR
5. "Open Parent" in _File menu replaced with
"Open Parent (nautilus)"
OR
6. Display a ".." in folder listing, but
when we select it , display full path as tooltip or statusbar.
Cheeri,
Calum.
