On Mon, Jun 02, 2003 at 02:17:12PM +0400 I heard the voice of
Sergey Akifyev, and lo! it spake thus:

I use a script to set it when I login to a box with some silly config
like a prompt that sets it:
---
(ttyp1):{507}% cat ~/bin/xttitle
#!/bin/sh
printf "\033]0;${*}\007"
---

You should be able to work that sequence into wherever you want...
