Description Klaus Singvogel 2006-01-26 15:28:57 UTC 
I'm one of those users, who are having the good, old :) "tcsh" as login-shell.

When I'm login to another host my well-chosen xterm title gets destroyed, because of the "cwdcmd" alias in /etc/csh.cshrc. I don't see a chance to influence this behavior (= keeping my title) by any variable. I don't see an effective way to do an unalias neither between the definition and the following "cd ."

My suggestion: introduce a new variable "keep_xterm_title" (or whatever), and, to be backward compatible, if this variable is unset continue destroying the xterm title (hopefully this works).

BTW: this bug has severity "enhancement". :)

   echo unalias cwdcmd >> ~/.tcshrc

Yes, I did it.
This helps for next "cd" commands, but not for login.
