I just committed this change with minimal modifications to the patch.   Seemed useful enough, so I added it.  No need for it to bit rot.

It'd be cool to see this running with NiftyTitleBar (which requires GNUstep rendered decorations),

There was a patch to Terminal.app which allowed (a certain non-standard) escape sequence in the shell prompt to call setRepresentedFilename: which I found incredibly useful

Looks great! One of GNUstep's strengths is being able to render it's own window decorations

Wayland favors client-side decorations, so this backend just returns NO
in handlesWindowDecorations. The hard work is being done by the Rik
theme :-)
