Distribution: Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16
Package: gnome-terminal
Severity: enhancement
Version: GNOME2.8.0 2.7.x
Gnome-Distributor: GARNOME
Synopsis: Gnome-terminal modified title
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal
Bugzilla-Component: general
Bugzilla-Version: 2.7.x
Description:
Hello

When modify the title of a tab, I think the new title should replace the
initial title definied in the profile, unlike be placed after it.
Like this, when an application changes the title, the manually modified
title will be conserved.

For example:
I use some tabs, in each I've a different ssh login. To remember which
tab is where, I change the titles with (local, server 1, home ...). But
really, if the term changes the title, I lose my reper and can't know if
I'm on my computer, or on remote server.
(Sorry, but konsole do better with titles ... don't worry, I use gnome)

In addition, I think it would be great if a popup menu (rigth click on a
tab) exist (with close, rename the session ...)

One way to get the behaviour you want is to have different profiles, one for
"home", one for "server 1", etc, each specifying the title you want.

This has just been fixed in HEAD, sorry for the long time it took.

I haven't modified anything in my gnome-terminal profile.

Before this bug was fixed, the Mozilla configure option --enable-xterm-updates (sets the Xterm title to the compile status) worked, now it does not.

Before this bug was fixed, my zsh script to set the tab title to the CWD worked, now it does not.

They both still change the title of the actual gnome-terminal *window*, but all the tabs are just called "Terminal".

Vidar: Caused by another bug. Fixed in CVS.
