that is not my point. i installed Eterm from a company-customized rpm that 
fits our company's highly customized (suse 7.2 based) linux standard 
installation. Eterm gives me the title at home, but even a self-compiled 
latest Eterm doesnt cooperate with the xfce taskbar in that special 
environment ...

so my question is rather:
can i set some variable / tweak some xf.*rc option to enforce the title in the 
taskbar?

if i run "Eterm -T BLAH" the Eterm titlebar says BLAH but the xfce taskbar 
button says Eterm 0.9*

any ideas?
