[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1389588@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian Murray (brian-murray) has assigned this bug to you for lxterminal in Ubuntu:

Run LXTerminal with the --title flag like so:

$ lxterminal -t "My Title"

Expected behaviour: an LXTerminal window opens with the title "My
Title".

Actual behaviour: an LXTerminal window opens with the default title
(e.g. "user@machine").

[drkokandy's note: OR perhaps, LXTerminal appears to open with its
assigned title, but that quickly gets overwritten immediately back to
user@host]

This worked as expected until about 1-2 weeks ago. [Late October 2014]

I saw the same behaviour before I upgrade today, with this package
version:

$ apt-cache policy lxterminal

  Installed: 0.1.12~bzr655+201410271939~ubuntu14.04.1

I'm afraid I don't know the last version number where it did work as
expected.
