I can reproduce it on 2 computers. However, I've tried it on a third one
and I could not reproduce it.
I believe it definitely has to do with vim, since this only happens
after quitting it. Furthermore, on the comment I was saying that this
also happens when executing 'cvs ci', I forgot that I'm using vim as
$CVSEDITOR for commit log messages. Therefore, when commiting files on
cvs I do execute vim.
I've observed the following:
1.- When opening a gnome-terminal window, the titlebar reads "Terminal"
on the two computers where I can reproduce the bug. On the third ("bug-
free") one however, the terminal titlebar shows "[EMAIL PROTECTED]: /home/dpm",
where dpm is my user name and scenic the host name. Whenever I change
directory on this computer, the titlebar gets updated with the current
directory, which does not happen on the two other ones (It always stays
as "Terminal").
2.- Copying .vimrc and the .vim folder from a computer where this bug
happens to the computer where this *not* happens has no effect. That is,
the bug is still not reproduceable there.
3.- I've got a root account enabled on one of the computers where the
bug happens. If I do a 'su -' and then execute vim from the root
account, the titlebar is not lost after executing vim. While being in
the root shell, the titlebar is updated with the current directory. When
exiting the root shell with CTRL+D, the titlebar remains frozen at the
last folder navigated from the root shell (e.g. "[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~").
After what I've seen on 1.-, I'm a bit confused to what it could be.
Here's a short recap:
Computer Bug Initial title
reproduceable?
------------- --------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#1 Yes "Terminal" (remains always like that)
#2 Yes "Terminal" (remains always like that)
#3 No <user>@<host> /home/<user> (the path
gets updated when doing 'cd')
All 3 computers have the following same settings under Edit>Current
Profile... Title and Command tab:
Initial Title: Terminal
Dynamically-set title: Replaces initial title.
