It is no longer possible to name an xterm window that was created to
exec a command, as the name now reverts to the name of the program being
executed. This is a minor annoyance for those of us who have several
xterms all running the same program but intended for different
applications. To wit,
xterm -n "rlogin: eddie" -e rlogin eddie -l jcb &
names the window "rlogin" rather than "rlogin: eddie".
