gnome-terminal question

[bruce]

hi tony...

i took a look at the howto earlier when i was looking.. couldn't get the
escape sequences to work correctly...

i then figured that i might be able to create a new gnome conf file, and to
change the title in the xml, so that anytime i started a new gnome term, i
could use the modified gconf xml...

changed the "title" attribute in the xml, but when i create the gnome term,
using the new gconf.. no luck... so i'm missing something...

thanks

I think the problem is that PROMPT_COMMAND is setting it each command,
after you set it.  Either unset PROMPT_COMMAND or change it to do what
you want.
