>Non-screen users should skip this section. Of course, screen is an awesome
|
|
program and what you should really do is rush out and find out what screen

|
is - if you've read this far in the HOWTO, you're enough of a Command Line
|
|
Interface Junkie that you need to know. </P

|
|
>If you use screen in Xterms and you want to manipulate the title bar, your
|
|
life may just have become a bit more complicated ... Screen can, but doesn't
|
|
automatically, treat the Xterm title bar as a hardstatus line (whatever
|
|
that means, but it's where we put our Xterm title). If you're a RedHat
|

user, you'll probably find the following line in your

>If that line isn't in there, you should put it in. This allows the

titlebar manipulations in the previous section to work under Xterm. But I
|
|
found they failed when I used rxvt. I e-mailed a question about this to
|
|
the screen maintainers, and Michael Schroeder (one of those good people

labouring behind the scenes to make free Unix/Linux software as great as it

is) told me to add the following to my <TT

lines are functionally identical except for the name of the Xterm type,

perhaps ... I leave this as an exercise for the reader. It did fix my

problem, although I haven't researched further to see if it interferes with

the icon-titlebar naming distinction. </P
