I see. Well, the "problem" I'm having then is: is it not possible, then,
to detach the "tab title" from the "window title"?

I like my tab titles to be something short (say, "Shell no. %#"), but I
would still like for the title in my konsole *window* to match what I
set from the shell with the xterm escapes.

Is my explanation clear?

Thanks,
