One problem with rolling your own truncation of the Window title is
that your truncated string will also be used by the standard Window
menu instead of the full title. This is not standard behavior. Also
you might end up confusing any Accessibility apps that are expecting
your window title to be consistent regardless of window size.
Maybe instead of trying to fight against the window manager, you
might be able to reorder the words in the title so that an end
truncation does not lose 'important' info.
E.g Suppose you were showing a file path/url. Instead of saying
/some very long path/etc/etc/My file
To give the last component more prominence change it to:
My file - /some very long path/etc/etc/
