Looks like I have to re-open this. Now, when I set the profile to "Keep initial title" and then try to change the title using "Terminal>Set Title...", the correct title is in the dialog, but the title of the window/tab is the initial title. So it appears that not even gnome- terminal can change the title with that setting.
What I am desiring: Open several tabs with different working directories (my typical development environment) and name them according to the work I will do in them, but for other terminals, to be able to change the title using the set title. It seems as if there is a one-or-the-other philosophy here. I would expect that starting a term with "--title" or using the "Set Title" menu item always overrides the title (aka bash shouldn't change the title). If no --title was given or if "Set Title" is never called, it should use the default title of the program ([EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~) Any ideas on how to get that to work without having to make different profiles and get them to work? PS - konsole does this fine. I am trying to switch to gnome-terminal since I am using gnome at the moment and gnome-terminal fonts look better than konsole for some reason (kde3 version was better) ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- [Intrepid] gnome-terminal --title ignored https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
