Since we seem to have a new xterm with an active maintainer, I thought I'd just throw out this enhancement request: It would be nice if there was a X resource I could set that tells xterm: "You know those escape sequences programs can send to set the window title? Well, ignore them utterly - leave my dadgum window title the way I set it." I'm constantly irritated by this. I run xterm on lots of different systems, and I give the windows meaningful titles when I create them. Having helpful /etc/profile junk that changes my titles isn't helpful at all because I can no longer find the meaningful names. I suppress this as best I can in my own .profile, but sometimes I have to su to other users and suddenly my title is screwed up again. It would be nice to just load a resource setting into my server that would globally suppress the title changing (at least once the new xterm percolated to all the systems I use :-).
Already implemented, it's called allowTitleOps. ;-)
I swear I looked for that before :-). I must be blind. Thanks for the pointer and sorry about the noise.
