hi! sorry this got marked as incomplete without a comment before, it looks like the comment I wrote at the time got ignored when I changed the status - oops.

is irssi being run in a local terminal, or is it inside an ssh session? rescuetime uses the window title to guess what app is being run, and we can probably make the code that parses the window title for terminal smarter. can you put an example of the window title here in the bug report? thanks!

Hi, irssi is being run locally inside of a screen session. in gnome-terminal the title of the window is "Terminal - Irssi: [funkyHat@freenode] [#ubuntu]"
This is showing up in the rescuetime stats but it's being listed as ssh (I guess possibly because irssi has ss in it, or maybe the @?).

(Unfortunately I now actually run irssi in a nested screen session, which means the window title doesn't work for some reason, but that's not related to this bug report).

Apologies for being rude in my earlier comment, must have been a bad day!
