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... -----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? If you post your trials, someone may spot a > problem or we may be able to test it. 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. -- ____________________________________________________________________ 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
