Yes, while browsing sources I found that it can accept the
same string from --title, but not from the config file.
And yes, it is useful as a temporary workaround, till
real solution emerges: right now I have /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
as a symlink pointing to roxterm, so I'll have to change that
(globally, for whole system) to a shell script that adds
--title option.

Um, I'm not sure I understand: for _both_ of what?

I see one option to change _current_ window title,
which is good.  But it is, in my opinion, entirely
illogical to not have it in profile section too --
as in, profile first, "current window" second for
almost every option out there is, again IMHO, the
plan... ;)

Maybe I don't understand something and just don't
know how to use it properly, -- just tell me how
it is supposed to be used :)

Note that, as far as I know, roxterm is the only
terminal emulator out there that adds its own name
before "user string" in the title.  Usually it's
done the other way around -- adding the name _after_
the most important information (which is the "user
string" in this case), if at all.


And oh, thank you very much for fixing the window
size which I reported on SF a while back.  This
was the reason I switched to 1.20 from experimental :)
