any idea why the following code isn’t working? Nothing happens when it’s called, the window title is still untitled. I’m on Ubuntu linux.
SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO );
SDL_WM_SetCaption("Window Title", "Icon Title");
SDL_Surface* screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( 512, 512, 32, SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF );
Vector2 center = Vector2(256,256);
const char* c = "test";
SDL_WM_SetCaption( c, 0 );
SDL_Event event;
Your code may not be at fault. Ubuntu may be responsible for that one. Or rather, the window manager/compositor Compiz that it uses:

Switching from Compiz to Metacity could help you figure out if you are affected by this bug as well.
There may be something else going on: I don’t get a title when I call SetCaption after SetVideoMode but I do get one when I set the caption before, which is not the behavior you are observing.
