Erm. This isn't a "no brainer" . While zsh is free to do what it pleases with it's environment variable MRXVT_TABTITLE, it can not propagate this change to mrxvt's environment! Perhaps a more flexible approach would be to make bellCommand percent interpolated, so you can access information about the current tab as you please. This would cause some backward incompatibility, and is probably a security risk to interpolate the tab title into a string that is passed to the shell. Alternately we could manually update the environment ourselves before execing bellCommand... GI -- 100 THINGS I'D DO IF I EVER BECAME AN EVIL OVERLORD 82.
