Is it possible for a process to read its window or icon title? If not, is it likely to ever be possible? If not, why? -JP

>> Is it possible for a process to read its window or icon title?
An X11 client will usually have the window id of its
"main" window that has the title and icon name. It can
fetch or set the title and icon name using that window
id.
An application running in a DECterm window however does
not have ready access to the DECterm window's window id.
It can try to find it by searching through the tree-like
window hierarchy for DECterm windows, but if there are
more than one of them it needs more info (for example,
the current title!) to tell them apart.
It would be a nice feature if there was some way to query
the "terminal" device for that information.
