My goal is to see to which server i am currently connected (via ssh). For
xterms this works quite well by setting the windows title, because one xterm
== one ssh-connection. But with kde's tabbed konsole, you have to switch to
a tab to see the "window title" associated with that tab.

That's why I was looking for a way to change the tab caption instead of the
window title using escape codes - so I believe using dcop won't help me
much, unless I install a dcop client on all my servers.

Anyway, thanks for your suggestion

greetings, Florian Pflug
