Re: FVWM: Tab window switching more informative??

[Peter Williams]

This solution is application-specific, but what i do is include the 
working directory in the xterm titlebar. And then do this separately for 
other applications in which i want more information, for instance.

.bashrc:
case $TERM in
    xterm*)
        TITLEBAR='\[\033]0;xterm:\w\007\]'
        ;;
    *)
        TITLEBAR=''
        ;;
esac
PS1="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ "
this sets the prompt to be [EMAIL PROTECTED]:directory
and the title to be xterm:directory
It is included in the PS1 variable, that way every time the prompt is 
printed the title bar is updated.

hi guys:
	I use Alt+tab in FVWM to switch between windows. the problem that
bothers me is that there is too little information showing in the
windowlist, for example, all xterm windows just show "xterm". so I do
not know which xterm window is the one I want to go to. it would be
more informative if the list also shows, for example, the working
directory, recent commands in that window, etc. 

        anybody knows how to do this? ( I do not want to use the "instant
snapshot" approach, cuz I'm too lazy to do the config, and it's
probably too slow for my machine .... )
    thanks a lot!
