I like the titlebars and use them regularly: whenever a Debian security
update is available, I ssh to some servers and update then. When you
have lots of aptitudes open, you don't know which is which :-)

I use this Bash function as my ssh replacement to see which
xterm/aptitude is on which server:

ssh()
{
        xtermset -T "ssh $*"
        /usr/bin/ssh "$@"
        xtermset -T "$USER@$HOSTNAME"
}

Anyway, if the titlebar stays as a patch, it's ok for me, I'll just
add it to my list of patches.

I can't say anything about the nmaster-thingie, as I'm still at dwm-2.8.
