Here are three possible fixes for this bug:

(1) Don't modify the xterm title in the first place

(2) When exiting elinks, set the title to something default such as
"xterm"

(3) Link to the xlibs library (possible on a dynamic "if present"
basis) so that you can find out the original title before changing
it

I vote for (1) or (3).

There is already and option for this. Open 'man elinks.conf' and search
for 'window_title'.

"xterm"

I have configured my shell to do this for me.

(3) Link to the xlibs library (possible on a dynamic "if present"
basis) so that you can find out the original title before changing

This was the previous behaviour but it bloats the dependencies with
xlibs which is not nice on server systems. Hopefully in the future we
will have some more non-server bloat such as image handling (like that
of w3m-img) so that we can have two elinks packages.

You got it.

Thanks for swift answer.

How about making ui.show_title_bar=0 the default in Debian
installations?

Alternatively, how about the following type of code (which avoids the
bloat of depending upon xlibs):

if (getenv("DISPLAY") && (dlopen("libX11.so.6",RTLD_LAZY)) {
// can then determine whether we are inside an xterm-like thing and
// query the X-server for the window title
}

Have a nice day!
