            Bug ID: 498036
           Summary: window title & icon should reflect current session
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: 24.12.0
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ossi at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

the profile allows configuring the title and icon ... for the tab bar.
however, this doesn't help at all when trying to select the right konsole
window in the task manager/switcher.

therefore, i suggest that the current session's name should be included in the
window title, and the session's icon be set as the window icon. provided it's
not the default session.

additionally, the configured tab title constructed from placeholders should be
also included, provided the application didn't override the window title via an
escape sequence.

some examples:

  ~ : bash -- Konsole
  ~ : bash -- Root Shell -- Konsole
  mc [user at host]:~ -- Midnight Commander -- Konsole
  mc [root at host]:~ -- Root Shell -- Konsole
  Mail -- Konsole

yeah, it's somewhat inconsistent and/or redundant, but it should serve the
intended purpose well enough.
