           Summary: configuration option to set new shell name
           Product: konsole
           Version: 1.6
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mark2776 yahoo com


Version:           1.6 (using KDE 3.5.1, Debian Package 4:3.5.1-2 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.14-2-686

Currently when I open a new shell in konsole it is automatically given the name "Shell No. %d" where %d is a sequence number. I'd like to control this string via a configuration option. I understand that I can control the shells name after I open it but what I'm asking is to control the DEFAULT name in order to keep me from having to change it all the time. To preserve the current behavior the default setting could be "Shell No. %num_shells" and I could change it to:
"Shell opened at %date"
"%num_shells"
"%user %machine"
or any other string which will contain variables which will be substituted by konsole. The code for the variable substitution could be taken from any number of other programs who do the same (some of which are even in KDE). I'm not asking to support ANY VARIABLE and I understand that such a request is open ended and could never be completed. A set of 5-10 variables which are most useful is certainly enough.
