Ahh, good call!  Thanx.

Sure, I use window titles all the time (I _have_ to, or I'd never find 
anything).  I generally name my windows after what I'm doing in them (so 
there's a "code", a "test", a "doc", etc).  But that doesn't always tell 
me enough, so I often find myself staring at the windowlist (which I 
just recently discovered ... I take it that's moderately new, since I've 
looked for such a thing several times in the past in vain).  So I love 
the windowlist, but I'd love it even more if it told me the tty's of the 
various windows ...

If my window titles showed the name of the command running in them, 
about half of them would be named "vi". :-D
