Description Pierre 2004-12-13 08:41:02 UTC 
I set a title using the dialog from the menu, but some commands change it.
Is it possible to lock it ?
Comment 1 Olav Vitters 2005-01-03 22:30:18 UTC 
If you have the menu enabled:
1. Go to: Edit->Current Profile...
2. Click on the tab: Title and Command
3. Change Dynamically set title: Isn't displayed
4. Click Close button

You can also right click somewhere in the terminal, choose Edit Current Profile
and continue from step 2.
Comment 2 Pierre 2005-01-05 08:54:58 UTC 
I tried this but it doesn't work.
When you choose "Isn't displayed", it is the initial title ("Terminal") that is
always displayed, and you can't change it anymore.
Comment 3 Michele Baldessari 2005-06-26 16:55:38 UTC 
If I set the title in the preference dialog and change to "Isn't displayed" like 
Olav suggested, I correctly see the title I chose on the gnome-terminal window,
and no application is able to change it. So it is effectively locked to what
you chose.

Did I understand correctly?
Comment 4 Olav Vitters 2005-06-26 17:26:37 UTC 
Michele: Pierre wants Terminal->Set Title to work under "Isn't displayed".
Comment 5 Richard Kinder 2005-08-25 02:02:05 UTC 
Olav, your workaround is no good for multiple tabs, which is where I'm having
issues...
