I use:

$ xterm -v
XTerm(327)

$ xterm&
Then the title bar of the launched xterm shows "xterm".

Thanks.  I tried.  But nothing seems to be changed unfortunately.
When I run `emacs -nw' in the xterm, the title becomes to
"emacs <at> hostname" but the original title "xterm" is not pushed to
the `xterm-window-title-stack' variable.  And the title does not
come back to "xterm" when I exit or suspend Emacs -nw.

I tried adding `(error "XXX")' to the `xterm--title-handler'
function but nothing happens (with no error).  So, the function
doesn't seem to run by way of `xterm-push-title-stack'.

Regards,
