In Konsole, how to show current user, when using Alt-Tab on the keyboard ?

details : You are user1 in konsole su - user2 press Alt-Tab to switch, Alt-Tab dialog appears. But the name on the screen is still user1

I use KDE 3.5.10, but could be the same with kde4

This may be intentional.

Alt-tab is used to switch from one application to another, and konsole is still running as user1, in a desktop owned by user1. It is the bash session inside which belongs to user2.

It is the same under xfce. When alt-tabbing between xterms, for example, the display shows the tittle of the applications; as xterm changes the title when you do a "su", this is shown in the alt-tab dispaly. But it doesn't happen with xfce terminal, because the tittle is not changed.

Just checked it (XFCE). Both terminal (from XFCE) and xterm show the username while alt-tabbing through the windows. Karl

So the question is : how to automatically change konsole window title in KDE3 or KDE4 ?

Do you mean title or tabs? And what does 'automatically' consist of? As far as I can see the whole way KDE works manages window TITLES 'automatically' by giving them the name of the application. When I run konsole the window title follows the tab I select and tells me the directory, the application (usually bash) and the name of the application - konsole - itself. The labels on the tabs are configurable. I'd say "RTFM" but there isn't a man page, it part of the KDE documentation. Click on 'help'. That will give you 'konsole handbook'. Go to the page labelled "Rename Tab Dialog". I'm using KDE4; I can't help you with KDE3. Now I suspect this isn't what you want to hear, but that's because, while I can read your question so that the above is an answer, there's a good change you meant something else. If that's the case then please refine your question. For example, are you using tabs? How many? If not then why not? You realise, also, that konsole can be controlled over the D-BUS? Type qdbus org.kde.konsole-XXXX /Sessions/1 where XXXX is the PID of your konsole session You can find that typing qdbus | grep konsole (or "org.kde.konsole-`pidof -s konsole`") The Session/1 list will show you things like method void org.kde.konsole.Session.setTabTitleFormat( int context, QString format) and method void org.kde.konsole.Session.setTitle( int role, QString title) Oh, right, that means you'll have to learn about D-BUS .... For that you'll want the B-BUS tutorial: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/D-Bus/Introduction -- We succeed only as we identify in life, or in war, or in anything else, a single overriding objective, and make all other considerations bend to that one objective.
