Bug 122495 – bash /etc/skel/.bashrc: set xterm title when TERM=aterm,kterm,gnome

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ed Catmur 2006-02-11 13:36:49 UTC]

Currently /etc/skel/.bashrc has:

# Change the window title of X terminals
case $TERM in
        xterm*|rxvt*|Eterm)
                PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'
                ;;
        screen)
                PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033_${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\033\\"'
                ;;
esac

aterm and kterm could be added to the list.

Also, from 2.14 gnome-terminal will set TERM="gnome" (currently "xterm"). (dang has confirmed this.) To be ready for this change, gnome will need to be added to the list.

I attach a patch (to app-shells/bash/files/dot-bashrc).
