Setting the terminal title to blank should allow scripts to change tab titles.



Other information:
xkahn:      mizmo: The autogenerated thing....
xkahn:      mizmo: That's tough in this case because it's likely to get replaced
again.
xkahn:      mizmo: annoying the user who just set their title.
fatalerror: xkahn: it won't in 2.14
fatalerror: the user-set title will be preserved until the tab is anihilated
xkahn:      fatalerror: Then how do you restore that behavior again if I wished?
fatalerror: xkahn: you close the tab =P
xkahn:      fatalerror: what if setting the title to blank changed the behavior
back?
fatalerror: xkahn: hm, sounds like the best we have
fatalerror: I mean, I thought about that situation when I made the change
fatalerror: but I couldn't come up with anything decent to revert to
dynamically-set titles
fatalerror: could you please file a bug?
