.... I am running XFCE under FBSD 9.3, w/ xfwm4 window manager, all
box-stock XFCE. I use rxvt terminals running tcsh for CLI work, usually
have *many* open at one time. I have the following tcsh alias set:
cwdcmd 'echo -n "\033]2;${HOST}:\057$cwd\007\033]1;$cwd:t\007"'
Under my old desktop (FC14, Gnome desktop, rxvt terminals, tcsh), this
would set the title bar of the window to '<hostname>:current directory',
and the panel marker similarly, worked AOK. It is only partially working
under FBSD/XFCE, however. Whenever I cd from one dir to another, nothing
happens. Indeed, most of my terminals just say 'rxvt' in their title bar
& panel marker. However, if I SSH to another machine, or to my ISP (They
give you shell account on their server :-) ), the title bar & panel
marker are correctly updated. What gives here ? The fact that it works
sometimes indicates that my setting for the alias is OK, but XFCE or
FVWM4 isn't responding correctly .... Bug ? TIA ....
