Looks like the only thing it doesn't do is let you change the title on the console window. (Because, obviously, that's only possible on Windows.)
Right. Unless you send an ^[^H]0;foo^G sequence (^[ being ESC) to your xterm. You'll find that the title changes to "foo".
0 = both title and icon 1 = icon name 2 = titlebar text Most X11 terminal emulators use the same protocol. (ISTR that dtterm doesn't, but I don't think most people care any more.) One other gotcha is that Terminal.app on Leopard (dunno about Tiger) treats 0, 1, 2 the same way so if you set the icon name after the title you end up with the icon name in the titlebar. (OSX uses the titlebar text as the icon name when minimized.) -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
