Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.2.3 OS: Linux Right now, in addition to displaying any "user" title information (e.g. "user@host: pwd"), konsole also displays its session name, and program name. (e.g. "user@host: pwd - Shell - Konsole") It would be nice to have an option that turns this off...something that allows me to limit the title to what I want it to be (just "user@host: pwd"). Seeing " - Shell - Konsole" is rather annoying, and not really useful to me when I look at a window title to determine what the window is.
http://kde.ground.cz/tiki-index.php has an example on how to alter the konsole title using PS1. It should be easy to google for more examples. PS1=$PS1"\[\e]30;\w\a\]" will add the working directory.
keeping konsole title minimal would be great.
This bug has been sitting here since 2003. Does anyone actually care about it anymore or can I close it and get it off my buglist?
I do care. That's one of the reasons that make me use another terminal emulator for now despite konsole having better performances.
I'll leave it open then. I do think KDE needs to follow the standard being set by xterm and the others (i.e. PS1="\e]0;title\007"). I shouldn't have to send a special, KDE-specific escape sequence to get the title to display the way I want it to. I just hope some developer pays attention for 4.0... ;)
Fixed for KDE 4. If the terminal program has set a title then that is all that is displayed, otherwise the session title is displayed. This matches behaviour of xterm, gnome-terminal.
Just found this bug, after having submitted a patch for KDE3. If people are interested in patching their KDE3 builds until KDE4 arrives, here's the patch: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151735
