Or maybe it won't, and everyone in the world will get their icons labelled
`hostname` (and I'm running X11!).

If you want a control character in a shell script, various options are
available.  You could use /usr/5bin/echo '\033' (not /bin/echo) or any of
the other programs that understand octal escapes (eg echo x | tr x
'\007').
