Subject: Setting MEDM window title
From: Simon Rees <[email protected]>

Dear all

I was wondering: do all sites using MEDM end up having the
name of the medm source files (ie *.adl) as the titles of their
X-window displays or is there some way to avoid/override this
behaviour ?

I can see one advantage in the current implementation is that
there is never any doubt as to the source of a MEDM display.
However, as has been highlighted by one of our astronomers who
wants to change the title, what is convenient from a software
maintenance point of view is not always optimal from the point
of view of the user experience.

So far I have:

  a) tried to invoke medm using the standard X window -title option
  b) had a bit of a flirt with changing some of the settings in
     my .Xdefaults file
  c) looked at a previous solution described in tech talk here:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2006/msg00884.php


Unfortunately the solution described in (c) only seems to be supported under linux (xprop -set doesn't work on our Solaris platform).

Any ideas as to other solutions/workarounds would be much
appreciated.
