As it turns out, it _is_ possible to do this. In an email, Paul Jarc
explained how to do it. I've modified his suggestion. Use at least bash
2.05b, and make sure PS1 doesn't have any xterm commands in it:
xtitle() { echo -ne "\\E]2\;$1 $HOSTNAME\\a"; }
trap 'xtitle "[$(history 1 | cut -b 8-38)]"' DEBUG
This puts
"[first 30 characters of current command] $HOSTNAME"
in your xterm title! _Very_ cool!
