They probably just use hostname, but Emacs goes through the motions
(i.e. gethostbyname) to get the fqdn and that ends up in system-name.
I reported this to the KDE bugtracker

This looks like an emacs bug to me. Please see the standard for it:
http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-4.html#s-4.1.2.9
The client should set the WM_CLIENT_MACHINE property (of one of the
TEXT types) to a string that forms the name of the machine running
the client as seen from the machine running the server.
I assume for the server it will just be escher and not the fqdn. It is
rather unusual to identify the local machine with a fqdn.
Anyway it's not a bug in kwin, but a regression in emacs. If they
change something like that, they should revert and not tell window
managers to adjust their code.
