[RHCE] xterm title bar

[Frank Pittenger]

Thanks all!  One more piece of trivia, the zero after the right-bracket means
to push the text into the xterm titlebar and icon name (if you are using icons
and the window manager permits this).  Replacing the zero with a one only
changes the icon text and replacing it with a two only changes the titlebar
text.  (I did say it was trivia, didn't I?)
