Thanks for taking the time to revisit this issue. I tried invoking uxterm and title changing worked, so I went back and looked at my XTerm resources. Here's what bit me: XTerm*allowSendEvents: true This resource was set on my old laptop which did have set-titles working, so I didn't even consider it. A comment in my file says "! Allows Sawfish keyboard-paste to work". My old laptop has no middle-mouse button and the touchpad buttons were inconveniently placed -- had to move hand away from keyboard to paste -- so I used this Sawfish extension that lets me bind a keystroke (I used ALT+ENTER) to paste the buffer as if middle-mouse-click. The man page for xterm says allowSendEvents forcefully disables several other functions, including allowTitleOps. I guess sometime between the xterm on my old laptop and the new one, they discovered the security risk of allowSendEvents and made it disable several other resources. Certainly set-titles worked fine on my old laptop with this resource set. Best regards, Josh Audette ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
