Right, on my default setup the clock is on the right, the number of windows on 
the left and the title in the middle.

As is the title shows:

"root@compaq:/usr/src/l"

instead of "root@compaq:/usr/src/linux".  This is what I mean of it being cut 
short.

Yes, they are shown in the middle, but on a 82x25 pixel terminal the title is 
displayed about 2/3 towards the right of the status bar, right against the 
clock.  See attached screenshot.

Running tmux set -g status-right "#32T" removed the clock and increased the 
real estate for the title bar.

Thanks again Stroller.
