There is an escape sequence to *set* the current window title; I've used
it for several years now. But how to *get* (read) the current title?

Also, possibly related, what do these escape sequences do (Note: These
may be rxvt-specific):

<esc>[8n

and

<esc>[21t

Wrong. It is only OCCASIONALLY a discussion group
about C; mostly, like most "discussion" groups, it is
off-topic Rorsharch revelations of the childhood
traumas of the participants...

You might try searching for title in this document.

Without having tested it...:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~gerardvw/HOME/bin/XFetchName

(That is, emit the control sequence "\033[21t" -- without
the quotes).

All of Gerard van Wageningen's xterm control scripts are
very instructive.

Also:

xprop -root WM_NAME # display name of root window

For rxvt version 2.14 and later: set the window title to the
version number of rxvt(1).

See above.
