gnome-terminal supports -e and --title or -t, but not -T.
eterm supports both -e and -T.
xterm ditto
kterm ditto
cxterm.common ditto
the members of rxvt-ml
krxvt
grxvt
crxvt
crxvt-big5
crxvt-gb
all support both -e and -T
xvt supports both -e and -T
zterm (although I don't have a binary of this to check) claims to support
- -e, but not -T (or any variants thereof). This is a gnome widget, which
forms the base for gnome-terminal.
That's all the linux terminal emulators I can find, and almost definitely
all the ones in debian.
Patching the gnome-terminal code is a matter of the following trivial
patch (I think, I haven't tested this).
