Hello,
I have gnome-terminal-2.14.0-1 on FC5.
Is there a way to configure it so that the hostname will be the title
of an opened tab?

I of course know about the "Set title" menu, but my question is : can
it be done automatically so when I ssh to some machine , the title will
be it's hostname (you can assume that I have the remote machine
hostname before ssh into it).

I usually let my shell do that for me:

bash:
case $TERM in
(xterm*)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}($(id -ng))@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
;;
esac

zsh:
case $TERM in
(xterm*)
function precmd () { print -Pn "\e]0;%n($(id -ng))@%m:%~\a" }
;;
esac

/M
