here are two:
1. use XGetWindowProperty (used by vim, I hate it)
2. use the OSC sequence to retrieve it (works with e.g. urxvt in
insecure mode, but some terminals disable it).

Bad argument. Dag might or might not heed it, but in general, he as the
author is free to do whatever he pleases (you did not imply otherwise). I
do not think free software authors have any obligation to consider their
users (they work for free, after all), and if they want to listen to their
users, its a feature and extraordinarily nice :)
