Although I don't always agree with everything the Gnome HIG recommends, I think these conventions have become fairly standard...

Use Filename as the window title for document-based applications. Do not use the full pathname, as the filename alone is easier to distinguish amongst other open window titles.
If you plan to include your application's name in the title of a primary window, use the following format:
DocumentName - ApplicationName
This will ensure that the document name appears in limited space situations such as the system window list.
When a document has pending changes, insert an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the window title. For example, *Unsaved-Document
