[MPlayer-users] Movie title in title bar

Hello,

this is quite an old issue, but Sebastian's suggestion is exactly what I'd urgently need;
I desperately searched for such a functionality in the docu (already two years ago and now again), but found nothing.

Can anybody tell me how to change the text in the title bar from "MPlayer" to some other text?
Even "MPlayer 1" or "MPlayer 2"  (etc.) would do.
I have several MPlayers running at same time, showing similar movies, so they are hard to distinguish (but it is important to distinguish them).
There would be the possibility to distinguish the MPlayer windows by giving them different positions (using the "geometry" option),
but a distinguishable window title would be much safer and better.

Currently, I am using the Mplayer 1.0rc2-3.3.5 on Linux.
Sorry, I am probably none of those who are able to download and patch the sources as described previously in this thread.
Also, the title text I need is not stored within the movie - it can only be passed from outside.

Thanks for any hint!
Monce
