hi dave...
thanks... went back, and rechecked the howto...
it was a user error! i had been using "003 instead of "033 .. gotta learn to
read!
and yeah.. i know the system is a few versions back! 09 vs 10..
thanks!
ps. know.. if i can figure out how to use the "gnome-terminal --execute
"foo" without having the "child process error msg" appear...
thanks again..

Follow the instructions at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title.html. You
don't say which shell you're using, but using the default bash shell,
you can do this:
$ echo -ne "\033]0;A New Title\007"
You'll probably need to unset the PROMPT_COMMAND value first;
$ export PROMPT_COMMAND=
> i'm running fedora 9
You know that's unsupported, right? I strongly recommend upgrading.
hth,
