Yes -- that will be the problem. Debian policy dictates that the
given terminal emulator should accept "-T" to be able to set the title
of the window. Given "x-terminal-emulator" is set and handled by the
alternatives system, look at the following:
% sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
There are 7 choices for the alternative x-terminal-emulator (providing
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
0 /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper 40 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper 40 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/koi8rxterm 20 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/lxterm 30 manual mode
* 4 /usr/bin/urxvt 11 manual mode
5 /usr/bin/urxvtcd 11 manual mode
6 /usr/bin/uxterm 20 manual mode
7 /usr/bin/xterm 20 manual mode
Press enter to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:
Here, I'm using rxvt-unicode. God knows it's set to for you -- but
xterm would be a good one to choose here.
The thing to bear in mind here -- and it's a bigee -- because of
Debian policy, they've gone and *modified* the FVWM sources for
FvwmConsole to do this:
#define XTERM "x-terminal-emulator" /* Debian specific chage for policy */
char *xterm_pre[] = { "-T", Name, NULL }; /* x-terminal-emulator options */
So you're screwed if you ever want to use a terminal emulator which is
globally set via x-terminal-emulator, *and* one that will accept "-T".
Problem solved, I'd say.
