Re: [RP] Hook for renaming new window

[Ivan Beschastnikh]

I guess you can bind the bind the key to instead of execing firefox,
exec a script that will:

1. run 'ratpoison -c windows'
2. grep that for the title you are seeking
3. if it's not found, run 'ratpoison -c 'title $W new_title''
   where $W is the window #
