Subject: uxterm: -e option does not set title
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2023 09:46:35 +1100
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: xterm
Version: 378-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

The -e option of uxterm does not set the title of the window, it is overridden
to be "uxterm". This is not consistent with xterm, which does set the title.
The attached patch fixes this, with the side-effect that the title will default
to "xterm" rather than "uxterm" when the -e option is not used.

Version: 380-1

Urgency: low

Changed-By: Sven Joachim <[email protected]>
Closes: 1031837
Changes:
 xterm (380-1) experimental; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream release.
     - Drop the -title option from uxterm and koi8rxterm, because that
       interferes with deriving the default title from the -e option
       (Closes: #1031837).  Compensate for this by using the -class option
       to derive a default title.
   * Configure with the --enable-pty-erase option to set the default value
     of the ptyInitialErase resource, rather than by patching XTerm.ad.
