bash prompt



Quick question: the following bash prompt puts the current machine name in the xterm (gnome-terminal) title bar, but also causes long lines to wrap incorrectly. Instead of moving down a line, the wrap over-writes the existing line of text. Anyone have a solution? Here's the prompt string:

	\e]0;\h\007\u@\h:\w\$
