Hi Dan, In general it is better to report individual bugs for each issue you have. 1. This is probably happening because your shell is reseting it. Try doing "unset PROMPT_COMMAND" and see if that fixes the problem for you. If it does then you can probably fix the problem by doing (as root) touch /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm chmod +x /etc/sysconfig/bash-prompt-xterm 2. gnome-terminal should save this kind of information when you save your session. You should be able to run something like: gnome-terminal --command="ssh porkchop.devel.redhat.com" --title="porkchop" & gnome-terminal --command="ssh devserv.devel.redhat.com" --title="devserv" & gnome-terminal --command="ssh mybox.boston.redhat.com" --title="My Box" & gnome-terminal --command="su -" --title="Super User Command Prompt" & disown exit You then just need to save your session by either running gnome-session-save or by logging out with the "Save Session" check box checked. 3. This is a decision for the UI designers. 4. Reorderable tabs might be a cool feature. I think I heard somewhere that there is a patent issue with doing it, however. I know that it would be better to enter in 5 bug reports, but I was torn about writing a lot of small bug reports. 1. That is ok for me to fix, but not really reasonable for a normal user. I would figure the default behaviour is if I set at terminal title it stays the terminal title. Unsetting PROMPT_COMMAND did stop the changing. 2. That starts up multiple gnome terminals instead of one with 5 tabs. 3. I meant this for the UI designers. :^) 4. You got to be kidding me. :^( You can create alternate profiles with specified titles and commands. You can also configure these alternate profiles to not use dynamically set titles (like those set with PROMPT_COMMAND). That may be, but it is not very user friendly. How about I just start up five tabbed terminals, Label them and then press save setup/session whatever. Next time I run gnome-terminal it comes up with the five terminals, already labelled. Handling the command line would require more work. Dan 1. The problem could be filed as a bug to gnome-terminal upstream 2. The terminal should be saving all that information in your session. A bug should be filed against upstream about this as well. 3. Upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75420 I don't really see why you would need this option. However I think it might be reasonably enabled as a context menu off the tabs. 4. Upstream bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86938 This one is a good idea and Epiphany does it well right now. Code from there might be able to be taken and used in gnome-terminal This bug is being tracked upstream, so closing... |
