Terminal title not restored on exit

[dweymouth]

When exiting cmus, the terminal title is not restored to its original value (before starting cmus). Bug is present on mate-terminal, xfce4-terminal, and terminator; likely present on other emulators.

Quick googling does not find a way to do this in a simple and portable way — solutions welcome! However, on OS X, both Terminal.app and iTerm work fine.

Edit: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3232655/can-i-get-terminal-title-or-otherwise-restore-old-one might contain xterm-only variant:

#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo -ne '\033[22;0t'  # Save title on stack
/bin/echo -ne "\033]0;$(date)\007"
sleep 1
/bin/echo -ne '\033[23;0t'  # Restore title from stack

The only way I found was to run 'top -u', find the PID number, and type 'kill ####'
Update: type in 'ps -ax | grep cmus', kill the longest running.

I think setting the title to a blank string would be better behavior than the current situation.
