Description of problem: The gnome-terminal window title is not used for messages when using screen. I think this is probably something to do with TERM=gnome (the now default setting), but I don't know exactly what. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): screen-4.0.2-4
I thought TERM=gnome wasn't the default any more?
I have forwarded this to <screen-users>. screen hardcodes the list of terminal types it thinks support xterm titles, and I am not sure if we should just add "gnome" to that list or if there might be a better way to do this long term. If nobody addresses this upstream, I may just add "gnome" to the list.
gnome-terminal uses "xterm" again. The screen-users list has not responded. As long as gnome-terminal continues to set TERM to a string that contains the substring "xterm", screen will pass along set-title sequences.
