Description:

I used to use FvwmIconMan to manage multiple windows, but now I switch
to FvwmTaskBar. It can partially replace gnome-panel. It works fine,
but I notice that the window name(title) of gnome-terminal on the
FvwmTaskBar always gets updated one pace later. That is, it show the
last working directory, not the current directory. I have tried use
FvwmIconMan at the same time, and FvwmIconMan always show the title of
the correct directory. The same issue appears with xterm. No problem
with Firefox or Thunderbird, though.

Repeat-By:

1. Open gnome-terminal. The window name in terminal's titlebar is like
'***@helium: ~', so is the name in FvwmIconMan. But the name is
FvwmTaskBar is like 'Terminal'.

2. type 'cd bin/' to change to a different directory. The window name in
terminal's titlebar is updated to '***@helium: ~/bin', so is the name
in FvwmIconMan. But the name is FvwmTaskBar become '***@helim: ~'.

Question:

Is this a bug of FvwmTaskBar?

Please go back to using FvwmIconMan; using FvwmTaskBar is deprecated.

So it's likely you want something like:

Style * IconTitleFormat %i
