Bug Description

Following the instructions here:http://aperiodic.net/screen/titles, I tried to define shelltitle in my ~/.screenrc so that the windows would be named the same as the commands that were running in them. This works fine if screen-profiles is not installed. With it, screen locks up my ssh window with a black screen. I was able to work around this by exporting a profile, uninstalling screen-profiles, and installing the exported profile. I'm running ubuntu 8.10.

Hello, thanks for the bug report, and thanks for the link.

Can you be more precise? Which commands did you follow? Can you please attach your .screenrc and/or shell configuration that generates the problem?

I was able to reproduce the problem very simply by putting the following in my .screenrc:
 shelltitle "foo"
And then launching screen, I saw the blank white screen indefinitely.

However, I did notice that if I ran "screen top", giving it a command to run, it appeared to behave properly.

Can you try this in your configuration? Can you give screen something specifically to run, and see if that works? That might help me troubleshoot the problem.

Aha! I found (at least part of) the problem!

Committing a fix now. Will be in the 1.52 release. Hopefully you can test it for me?

  * profiles/profile.skel: swap the position of ip-address and menu
  * screen-profiles.1: document all notifications, LP: #369040
  * profiles/common, screen: create a temp file to use on screen launch,
    consisting of the profile plus the windows, but don't source default
    windows otherwise as this breaks F5-refresh, LP: #368786
  * screen-profiles: ensure that all registered keybindings get updated
