Bug#833984: tell how to set icon titles too
Package: xterm
Version: 325-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/xterm.1.gz
Of the three
ESC]0;stringBEL -- Set icon name and window title to string
ESC]1;stringBEL -- Set icon name to string
ESC]2;stringBEL -- Set window title to string
mentioned on http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-3.html ,
the xterm man page sadly only mentions the last of the three.
You need, on the xterm man page, to change the "Window Titles" section
to "Window and Icon Titles", and mention all three.
Else users will end up with windows titles who don't match their icons'
titles, because the icon titles cannot be changed, because it is not
documented how!
