While the escape sequence thingy is a Good Thing (tm) for xterm
windows, it doesn't work for Ghostview or GV windows :-( [*]

Back when I used to use gwm I used its ability to change window titles
on the fly a lot: you could double click the window title and you were
then able to input a new title. Very useful. WIBNI one could do this
with fvwm, too?

[*] For those who don't use these programs: they have a window title
of "Ghostview 1.5" or suchlike -- not very useful in an FvwmIconMan if
you have a half dozen of them open and want to find the one that you
want to look at.
