I have an alternative: a fortune in your titlebar. I wrote this because all "xterm"s look the same in my icon manager, and it's a useful way to tell them apart as well as to read fortunes. #!/usr/bin/perl -w open(F, "fortune -s -n100 |"); undef $/; $_ = <F>; s/[\t\n]/ /g; s/\r//g; close(F); @a = ("xterm", "-title", "xterm: $_", "-n", "xterm: $_"); push(@a, @ARGV); exec(@a); -- | Harry Mason | .------------. | .___, |"Whatever you do will be | | University of | | hjm200 @ | | ___('v')___ | insignificant.
