Is this a known bug in xterm (or perhaps unknown) or am I just reading
the man page incorrectly? It says:
-n string
This option specifies the icon name for xterm's win-
dows. It is shorthand for specifying the "*icon-
Name" resource. Note that this is not the same as
the toolkit option -name (see below). The default
icon name is the application name.
When I use this to name the icon it also changes the name in the
title bar (which should be handled by the -title option). I
assumed that these were mutually exclusive.
Example:
xterm -n Boo
Info: X11r4
SunOS 4.1
olwm
Thanks

I tried specifying an icon name like so: xterm -n xterm-1 and the title also came up xterm-1. However, if you use the -title flag to specify a different title, it works. Do they not mention the default title in the man page? -- <======================================================================> < Will Hallam hallamw@ceres.crd.ge.com > < hallamw@hope.its.rpi.edu > < will_hallam@mts.rpi.edu > <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<>>>> < GE CRD---Schenectady, NY > < > <"The material contained within is the sole product of my own opinions"> ///////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Do they not mention the default title in the man page? It doesn't seem like you should have to use -title to set the title bar back to what it should have been if you hadn't tried to change the *icon* title (-n). There is also some weird interaction with -title and the -e option. Try all of the following and see if they behave as you'd _expect_. xterm -title Boo xterm -e /bin/csh xterm -title Boo -e /bin/csh Again: X11r4 SunOS 4.1 olwm Thanks Robert -- | Robert L.
