Description Ben Greear 2015-08-18 22:27:25 UTC 
Description of problem:

I have a script that launches a bunch of terminals to help get me
up and productive after a reboot.

But, with mate-terminal on Fedora 22, the --title option does not work:

mate-terminal --title=foo

(New terminal, but title is set to defaults).

Please make this work again!

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.

mate-terminal --title=foo

2.
3.

Actual results:

Title is user@host:dir

Expected results:

Title is 'foo'

Additional info:

There are several similar bugs for gnome-terminal.
Comment 1 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2015-08-18 22:50:59 UTC 
Confirmed,
can you please open a report at upstream?

Comment 2 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2015-08-19 14:00:57 UTC 
in edit -> profile preference -> second tab there is a drop-down-menu under title, change here to 'keep intial title'.
Than the default title is 'Terminal' or whatever you choose in your profile and you can change it with the -t option.

I'm thinking about to change this default behaviour for f23 with a gsettings override, but i can't do that in a release cycle, because it change the look and feel of mate-terminal.

Comment 4 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2015-08-25 17:17:12 UTC 
Note, i did a gsettings override for f23 in result the steps from comment2 aren't need anymore. But i can't do that in a release cycle of a package.
