Bug#1031837: uxterm: -e option does not set title
Package: xterm
Version: 378-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The -e option of uxterm does not set the title of the window, it is overridden
to be "uxterm". This is not consistent with xterm, which does set the title.
The attached patch fixes this, with the side-effect that the title will default
to "xterm" rather than "uxterm" when the -e option is not used.
