In UWS V2.2 (currently in field test) you can change the titles and icon names
of your windows (in Customize Window or with OSC sequences, or on the dxterm
command line), which will solve the problem of every window having the same
title. This won't happen automatically, although you could write a shell
script that set your title and icon name to the process name, for example.
In UWS V2.0 the title was just DECterm. In UWS V2.1 I merged in some code
from VMS, in which the first window on a DECterm controller is called
DECterm 1, the second is called DECterm 2, etc. This is useful on VMS
because (in general) all of the DECterm windows on a workstation are controlled
by the same DECterm process. It isn't very useful on Ultrix, though, because
each DECterm window has it's own DECterm controller process, which means that
DECterm window has a title of DECterm 1. For that reason, in a later baselevel
of UWS V2.2 I'm changing the default title back to DECterm (on Ultrix only).
As a wish list item, some day I'd like to make the Ultrix version of DECterm
more like the VMS version, so window have different titles and don't all
start at the same position, for example. It's not clear how this should be
implemented; it could be done by the session manager or perhaps with
environment variables. It's too late to change this in UWS V2.2, though.
