Hi All
Would anyone happen to know how to include the prog name in the title
bar of a kde session terminal? Basically what I would like to do is
start the prog and instead of "Konsole" in the titlebar have the prog
name displayed.
Thanks in Advance

Thank you for the explanation about host type. I found the
problem. When I typed in "gcc --version" I found gcc was
missing.
When I installed RedHat I didn't use a default install; I used a

The thing is that you can configure your system to have the "standardized"
installation or not. If it's not a system program, I generally place new
programs in /usr/local ... I think it's a matter of personal choice. =)

Hey Beverly,
What I meant by that (paths) was the proposed FSSTND. RH even publishes
