When I run a portage command via Konsole (e.g. emerge kde), the progress of the build comes up in the title bar etc... (good idea, btw :), but when it finishes, it automatically changes the title back to "xterm". Perhaps have it save the current title, then restore it afterwards? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge something in a terminal emulator 2.when it finishes, title will be set to xterm 3. Actual Results: title is set to xterm Expected Results: restored the title back to what it was.

Data point: The same thing happens with fluxbox as the WM using 'rxvt'. When the executed process 'eg - emerge sync' completes, the title changes to xterm. BTW - Kudos to whoever thought up the idea to show 'emerge' progress in the title bar. Feature is very much appreciated. In fact, I'd rather live with returning to the wrong title than lose the new feature. :-)
When using aterm the title bars don't change. If I use xterm, they change and go back to what they were before when the emerge finishes.
Oh, now that I think about it mine are going back to what they were cuz I have it set the working dir in it and it does it each time it draws the prompt.
Titles change like they should with aterm now with portage-2.0.48-r1.
> Perhaps have it save the current title, then restore it afterwards? As far as I know, there is no way to read the current xterm title :( A possible workaround would be to use an environment variable to specify the default xterm title. In /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/output.py, change the xtermTitleReset() function to the following, so that if you have set $DEFAULT_TERM_TITLE in your environment, then emerge will use it when it exits: --------------------------------------------------------------------- def xtermTitleReset(): if havecolor and dotitles: if os.environ.has_key("DEFAULT_TERM_TITLE"): xtermTitle(os.environ["DEFAULT_TERM_TITLE"]) else: if os.environ.has_key("TERM"): xtermTitle(os.environ["TERM"]) --------------------------------------------------------------------- But anyway, as Matt said, the current behavior is easy to overide by adding the correct escape sequences in $PS1, so this workaround is not really needed. (cf. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Xterm-Title-4.html#ss4.3 for an example) Oh, and while we are talking about this, I think the xtermTitleReset() should not be used on exit if notitles is in the FEATURES. A 'if "notitles" not in portage.features:' should be added in emergeexit(), in /usr/lib/portage/bin/emerge.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 21430 ***
Sorry SpanKY, but I think this bug is not a duplicate of #20430. It is about "setting the xterm title back to what it was before emerge", when notitles is NOT in features. #20430 was about "not modifying it at all" when notitles was in features. It's not the same issue, neither the same fix.
