+# Shellscript:	xtitle - set title on xterm window
+# Author     :	Heiner Steven <heiner.steven@odn.de>

+# Category   :	Desktop
+# Date       :	1995-03-17

+##########################################################################
+# Notes
+#    o	Thanks to Des Herriott (des@corp.netcom.net.uk) for
+#	the way to get a title using "xprop"
+#
+# Example
+#    o	Get the old window title, set the new title to "New Title"
+#	    OldTitle=`xtitle -g w -w "New Title"`
+#
+# Changes
+# 1995-06-01 hs	Separate settings for title and icon (0.2)
+# 1996-03-04 hs	Determine how to echo without newline (0.3)
+# 1996-10-01 hs	Get a window title, syntax changed (0.4)
+# 1999-10-27 hs	Use "getopts" to preserve whitespace in arguments (1.4)
+# 2002-04-09 hs	Added "Requires" header field (1.6)
