Control: severity -1 wishlist
Just checking the other terminals I have installed, kitty and
gnome-terminal also do not support this option. Although gnome-terminal
added a wrapper to align with x-terminal-emulator's requirements and
included support for a few "non-standard options", "-name" being one of
them.
For what it's worth, there's no expectation that x-terminal-emulator
supports this option. The only requirements are documented in Policy
11.8.3:
I did work with upstream to get -T supported before having it provide
the x-terminal-emulator alternative, but they already had support for
--title so it was just aliasing the existing option.
Anything passing "-name" to x-terminal-emulator is expecting more than
the abstraction guarantees. I'm not sure that's something that's worth
supporting.
Cheers,
