Xterm Title

Xterm Title

[Ajay Jain]

Hi,

I want my Xterm to display a constant title say mercury. So I use:
Xterm -T mercury. Further, I have placed the following line in my
.Xresources: xterm*allowTitleOps: 0. From my .vnc/xstartup, I also do:
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources. Even then my Xterm title changes to
logname@hostname:pwd. I want to avoid it and replace this with a fixed
title. Could you suggest something? After all, what is it that is
going wrong? I am also trying to set PROMT_COMMAND, without any
success.

Regards,
Ajay.

Check your prompt ($PS1) for xterm title escape sequences
(http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Xterm-Title.html), like \[\e]0;
... stuff ... \a\]
