hi tony... i took a look at the howto earlier when i was looking.. couldn't get the escape sequences to work correctly... i then figured that i might be able to create a new gnome conf file, and to change the title in the xml, so that anytime i started a new gnome term, i could use the modified gconf xml... changed the "title" attribute in the xml, but when i create the gnome term, using the new gconf.. no luck... so i'm missing something... thanks -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Tony Nelson Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2009 5:36 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: gnome-terminal question On 09-09-27 19:19:48, Richard England wrote: > On 09/27/2009 02:09 PM, bruce wrote: > > hey... > > > > trying to solve an issue on changing the title of the current > > gnome-terminal session. > > > > how does one go about changing the title of the current > > gnome-terminal via the cmdline... > > > > i'm trying to figure out if you can use escape sequences, or > > modifying the profile for the terminal. > > > > trying some of the escape sequences from different web sites > > haven't worked... > > > > thoughts/comments/pointers appreciated... > > > > i'm running fedora 9 > > > > thanks > > > > > > > Have you investigated > > http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title.html > > What have you tried?

Either unset PROMPT_COMMAND or change it to do what you want. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
