When using bash in xterm, the title of xterm follows the current dir (pwd). In Eterm this is not like this. Setting another TERM value makes a new bash process change the title. --- This example is run in an Eterm: $ echo $TERM Eterm $ cd / $ cd /tmp # the title didn\'t change $ TERM=xterm $ cd / $ cd /tmp # the title didn\'t change $ bash # the title immediately reflects the current dir $ cd / $ cd /tmp # the title changed with every `cd\' $ exit $ cd / $ cd /tmp # the title didn\'t change $ mc sets the title even in Eterm, but when one exits mc, the title isn\'t changed anymore: it shows the wrong dir. --- bash-2.05b-alt4 Eterm-0.9.2-alt5 mc-4.6.0-alt3 xterm-170-alt2
It\'s because of Eterm not listed in /etc/bashrc. Fix is trivial, so I won\'t release new bash package because of this issue.
bash-2.05b-alt5: /etc/bashrc: added Eterm to the list of terminal names which support title change escape sequence.
