RE: gnome-terminal question

ok....

took a look at the hoto that a few had referenced. it seems to apply to
xterm windows, as opposed to gnome terms, but i went ahead and attempted to
implement the escape sequences with no luck.. (could just be user error!)

i also attempted to try to modify the underlying conf files for
gnome-terminal, using the gconftool to dump the intial key/value pairs from
my test gnome-terminal profile.

steps:
1) create a test gnome profile
2) do a gconftool -- dump ./.gconf/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/test1 >
testconf
	(this gets a dump of the key/values for the test profile)
3) modify the "title" element/key in the dumped file..
4) do a load of the new/modified dumped file, to see if this gets
	loaded in the current gnome-terminal with the changed title
	--> gconftool --load testconf

the changed title is in the testconf file.
the gnome-terminal title is still the same, ie the changes i made aren't in
the
profile, although there was/were no error generated by the "--load" of the
conf file

i also reset the PROMPT-COMMAND to "" just in the weird case it was somehow
resetting my changes...

i've seen a number of people who've had this same/similar question, with no
apparent solution...

i'm willing to create a short step-by-step process once this is solved!

thoughts/comments/pointers...

thanks...

I think the problem is that PROMPT_COMMAND is setting it each command,
after you set it.  Either unset PROMPT_COMMAND or change it to do what
you want.
