           Summary: xfterm4 shouldn't set title to "Terminal" for xfce-
                    extra/terminal if not explicitly required
           Product: Xfce
           Version: unknown
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Medium
         Component: xfce-utils
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org

When TERMCMD is set to "Terminal" and barely run "xfterm4" without any
argument, the xfterm4 script will pass the argument "-T Terminal" to
xfce-extra/terminal (i.e. the os-cillation one).  This argument will set the
terminal title to "Terminal" FOREVER, making the programs running in the
terminal cannot change the terminal title, until you clear the "Terminal" text
manually from the menu "Terminal->Set Title...".

In my gentoo environment, if I execute Terminal directly, I can see my pwd in
the terminal title, very handy.  But if I execute xfterm4, I had to clear the
title manually to see the pwd.  So I think it should be improved.

I've made a patch for this, very ugly, and only works for xfce4-extra/terminal
(because I have never used other terminals ;).  Hope some skilled ones work out
a better one:)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"
2. run xfterm4
3. check the terminal title

Actual Results:  
"Terminal"

Expected Results:  
"~/path/of/pwd - Terminal"
