I suggest that you try tmux (or screen) - this is far superiour to |
7 |
multitab since you can easily also put it to the background or |
8 |
access it remotely. |
9 |
My default zsh login files start a tmux session automatically |
10 |
(so did my previous bash login files with screen, but I do not |
11 |
use bash anymore for an interactive shell). |

This is all a question of setting an appropriate prompt which also |
19 |
sets the terminal title correspondingly. I suggest that you |
20 |
have a look at e.g. app-shells/set_prompt from the mv overlay. |

Probably for every terminal program there are corresponding Xresources. |
26 |
For instance, for xterm, I have set |
27 |
XTerm.VT100.Geometry: 80x25 |
28 |
Alternatively you can specify -geometry on the command line. |
29 |
Probably it is possible to write something which saves the current |
30 |
geometry somewhere. I find this always disturbing, and one of my |
31 |
first configuration fixes in KDE (when I was still using it) |
32 |
had always been to turn off this misfeature... |
