Bug#695494: xterm -title not working

[patrick295767 <patrick295767@gmail.com>]

Package: xterm
Version: 261-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Yeah, it is surprising but it is not working on debian stable (squeeze).
It is kinda annoying. 

How to reproduce, first:
  @debian:~$ xterm -title "quake_console"


and then: 

pat@debian:~$ wmctrl -l
0x02600024  0 debian reportbug-xterm-20121209-30122-9muH3T + (/tmp) -
VIM
0x02400024  0 debian pat@debian: ~


My xterm rc is not customed at all, but default.

It should be fixed in the next release of debian if you might find some
time to check the code.

Yours sincerely.
pat
