Bug#654882: tmux: Ignores "automatic-rename" window setting

Package: tmux
Version: 1.6~svn2608-2
Severity: normal

* What led up to the situation?

Usage of tmux.

* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?

Cursed it.

* What was the outcome of this action?

Doesn't help.

* What outcome did you expect instead?

Have it do what I want.

(Makes me feel like this should be grave :) )

Right, now seriously: tmux ignores "automatic-rename" setting for
windows entirely. It plain simply has no effect whatever way one sets
this option.

Take the following set of commands:

tmux new-session -d -s gkars_sheridan_vir -n sheridan 'ssh sheridan'
tmux set-window-option -t gkars_sheridan_vir:1 automatic-rename off
tmux new-window -d -t gkars_sheridan_vir:2 -n vir 'ssh vir'
tmux set-window-option -t gkars_sheridan_vir:2 automatic-rename off
tmux select-window -t gkars_sheridan_vir:1
tmux -2 attach -t gkars_sheridan_vir

This will have tmux spit out two lines:
set option: automatic-rename -> off
set option: automatic-rename -> off

and otherwise neatly start a session, ssh to two machines. status-line
enabled shows two windows opening, with the names as given in "-n"
parameter here. Exactly as wanted.

The shell starts up and the names go away, get replaced by "zsh".
This is appearently caused by one of the following two lines

print -Pn "\e]2;$2:q\a"
print -Pn "\ek$1:q\e\\"

in a zsh shell init.

Which would be all fine would I have automatic-rename ON. It is OFF, so
tmux should NOT DARE TO TOUCH THE WINDOW TITLE. Thats why I set it to
off.

I guess some people never change. Or, they quickly change and then
quickly change back.
