Version: (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc-Version 4.2.2 (Gentoo 4.2.2 p1.0) OS: Linux konsole-1.6.6 with kde-3.5.8 shows title: "user@hostname:~ - Befehlsfenster - Konsole" su to root than (window title changes to "root@hostname:~ - Befehlsfenster - Konsole") enter command: "emerge kde-meta" window title name changes to: "emerge: (1 of 1) kde-base/kde-meta-4.0.0 Compile - Befehlsfenster - Konsole" konsole-2.0 with kde-4.0.0 shows title: "Shell" su to root than (window title changes to "user : bash") enter command: I run the following command: "emerge kde-meta" konsole title name changes to: "emerge" (leaving su with exit doesn't change the window title back) As you can image only the display of "emerge" is not useful, especially when emerge wants to upgrade several packages, so you don't know the status of your emerge job.
Mis-assigned...
You need to change the tab settings so that the tabs use the window title set by the shell program, instead of the default "program name : dir name" 1. Settings -> Edit Current Profile 2. Select 'Tabs' page 3. Clear the 'Local tab title' box 4. Click "Insert -> Window title set by shell" (this will insert '%w') 5. Click OK If you only want to change to this temporarily, you can select Edit -> Rename Tab..., enter '%w' and click OK.
This is not a bug, in the sense that Konsole is behaving as expected and a setting change gives the desired results. In most circumstances I think the "dir : programname" tab and window title is more useful than whatever the shell supplies, so the current default behavior is probably right. However I'm sure the five steps I listed above could be shortened or made easier to discover.
Yes. This is not a bug. Thanks for the clarification. So basicly only the default value (for the window title) changed between 3.5 and 4.0.
Different default value in kde4, but easily changeable.
