[gdm-list] xterm -title "foo" not working

["christian (private)" <chr graf gmx de>]

Dear all,

I am running debian testing.

when I try to open a new xterm using the command
xterm -title "foo"

the window-title won't be changed to "foo".

I would guess, that it is something about gnome capability to either
allow or disallow dynamic window-titles. However, I wasn't able to get
it right.

Any help is greatly appreciated.


thanks

christian
