But again, note my previous email. Per the xboard man page:
-wname <full name>
-bname <full name>
-name <full name>
-oppname <full name>
The full name of White, Black, yourself or your opponent.
Unfortunately, this is not the option per most other applications to set
the name of the window, which is mildly irritating. If this is setting the
name of the window to whatever you enter here, that's a coincidence, not
intended behaviour.
I've patched xboard before. I think I might take a look over the weekend to
see how difficult it would be to add this option as I'm surprised it's
missing.
