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... -Original Message- From: fedora-list-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:fedora-list-boun...@redhat.com]on Behalf Of Tony Nelson Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2009 5:36 PM To: fedora-list@redhat.com 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?

RE: gnome-terminal question
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-boun...@redhat.com [mailto:fedora-list-boun...@redhat.com]on Behalf Of Tony Nelson Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2009 5:36 PM To: fedora-list@redhat.com 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?
