For many years, I've have this set this in my tsch .login (and make sure the terminal is set to process the .login file): #!/bin/tcsh if ($TERM == "xterm" || $TERM == "xterm-color" || $TERM == "gnome-terminal") then echo "\033]2;($tty) $USER@$SHORTHOST\007" alias precmd 'echo -n "\033]2;($tty) $USER@$SHORTHOST ($cwd)\007"' endif This causes the terminal title bar to change like this: (pts/1) cra@host (/home/cra) which I then use to identify which terminal to click on in Overview mode. It works very nicely. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
