xfce4-terminal patch

[Randy Chung]

That seems like an orthogonal issue to tab placement; I'm guessing 
you're referring to the accel keys to open new tabs and move between 
them?  I'm not very familiar with xterm's escape sequences (I usually 
multiplex via screen, so I use those instead), so maybe I'm missing 
something.

As for setting titles of terminal windows and other such, I'm not sure 
it'd be possible to capture the control sequence without overwriting 
unwanted results.  For example, let's say you start out without using 
tabs.  Someone who uses the xterm control sequence to change the window 
title would probably expect it to do just that; however, if the sequence 
is intercepted (assuming this can be done, I haven't looked into it yet) 
by the terminal program, does it a) change the window decorator title, 
b) the (hidden) tab title, or c) both?  The same thing applies to when 
you have multiple tabs open; does the title change escape sequence 
modify tabs, window decorator, or both?

Sorry to only mention problems and not solutions, but I can't really see 
a clear and obvious ideal one.  What might be useful (and is on my list 
of things to do) is to make the window decorator title change to 
whatever command is being run, a la rxvt (I think Konsole might do this 
as well, but I don't recall offhand).  The title would, of course, 
change depending on the active tab.  Kind of like screen....but more 
visual ;)

If I've completely misread you and missed your point, please correct me 
and I'll try to come up with a more appropriate answer :)
