Typically [under linux] I've got 8 VTs of mc open [in a single
1 of 4 desktops]. And when switching between VT's I 'get lost'
because there are no visual-cues.
So if I eg. cut from a file viewed in VT3 to paste to a file in
VT5, I often have to re-examine the whole sequence of
8 to recognise which one I want.  There are many times
when we need to rapidly switch between VT's with
'bookmarked/known' contents.

How do other users handle this ?

I have several buttons:

  1)  Normal Xterm
  2)  Named XTerm
  3)  Named XTerm with mc

The "Named XTerm" is a script which open Xdialog and let me enter a name
and activate a checkbox, whether I want to prevent a title change.

To prevent the title change I have copied  "/etc/terminfo/x/xterm-color"
to "/etc/terminfo/m/michelle-color" and since programe like "mc" do  not
know what to do with "michelle-color" I run mc with:

    xterm -tn ${TERMINFO} -n "${TITLE}" -title "${TITLE}" -c mc

thats all.
