[gentoo-user] KDE 4.2 Konsole Title

[gentoo-user] KDE 4.2 Konsole Title

[Chris Lieb]

I recently switched to KDE 4.2 (completely removed KDE 3.5.9 and emerge
@kde-4.2) and fired up my system update script.  I noticed right away
that the title bar of Konsole did not update to show my progress in my
emerge -u... world.  In fact, it only showed the user name and directory
that I was currently in.  No script seemed to change the contents of the
title bar.  I noticed the same behavior in lxvt run in KDE 4.2 also.

In Konsole under KDE 3.5.9, the title bar would always be controlled by
the script that was running.  Is this supposed to happen in KDE 4.2, or
is this a bug?

Thanks,
Chris Lieb

It's configurable per profile. What you see is just the default behaviour.

Yeah, I noticed the same.

I can only find "notitles" in /etc/make.conf, there doesn't seem to be
an option to switch it on. So how to get the old behaviour back? It's
nice to be able to tell at a glance how much is left to do.

Cheers,
Hilco

Konsole profile, not portage profile.

In the profile of Konsole you're using, in the "Tabs" tab, edit the "Tab 
title format" according to your needs.  To get KDE 3 behavior, you need 
"%d : %w".

I did that and it worked.  However, I noticed that there tends to be a
delay between when the title should change and when it actually does.
In KDE 3.5, as soon as emerge moved to the next package, it would change
the window title almost instantly.  In KDE 4.2, there is a lag of a
couple seconds.  Is there something I need to configure to get this to
happen more quickly, or is it an upstream bug?

Can't find anything in the settings.  Might not even be a bug but just 
how it works.  You can always try filing a bug about it on bugs.kde.org 
though, either as a wish or a real bug.
