Too many xterm windows driving you nuts????

Start xterm with -T "Space Craft Control" to give name to windows…

Start with -n to give name to the icon….

or both to give name to both

Voila….your desktop is now managable (?)

OR…

just add this to the init script of your shell

function xt {

xterm -T $1 -n $1 &

}

and invoke new terms as

xt "Mars Mail"
