Destop menu truncates window titles from the @ sign to the end of line.

[Rich]

I recently noticed something while working on a script.



In the image above, the title bar of the terminal says:

mc [tc@E310]:~/Scripting/T_BirdNotifications

but the desktop menu lists that windows title as:

mc [tc

As you can see, everything from the @ sign to the end of the line is missing.

This occurs with flwm_topside.

So my questions are this:

1. Has anyone else seen this on other window managers (openbox, hackedbox, jwm, etc)?

2. Is there any downside to replacing the @ sign in my command prompt?
   For example, from this:

Code: [Select]

tc@E310:~$    To this:

Code: [Select]

tc(at)E310:~$    Or this:

Code: [Select]

tc.E310:~$    Or something else?
