Re: gnome-terminal

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

This can't be implemented from within gnome-terminal in a portable
fassion.

However, gnome-terminal supports the xterm escape sequences for changing
the title bar, so it is possible to do this with the cooperation of the
shell.

Try putting the following at the end of your ~/.bashrc file:
  if [ "$TERM" = xterm ]; then
    export PS1="\[\033]0;\u@\h: \w\007\]$PS1"
  fi

You may have to adjust this for other shells.

James.
