Details:
Currently, if I want to let my bash prompt set xterm titles, I have to put up
with Screen messing with them and causing them to disappear at times. This is
because Screen automatically sends its messages to the terminal's "hardstatus
line" if any exists. I see no way to change this. From the man page:
+Verbatim+
If your terminal has a status line defined in its term‐
cap, screen will use this for displaying its messages, otherwise a line
of the current screen will be temporarily overwritten and output will
be momentarily interrupted.
-Verbatim-
I would like an option to control this behavior and force screen to overlay
messages normally - even if hardstatus is set in termcap - and leave my xterm
title alone. Thanks. :)
