Looks like you've got a longish shell prompt.  There are various
settings, following is from my .bashrc:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Following sets prompt to [userid@host dir], and puts the full 
#   user@host:/full/path/spec in an xterm title bar.
function proml
{
case $TERM in
    xterm*|rxvt|eterm|wterm*)
        local TITLEBAR='\[\033]0;\u@\h:\w\007\]'
	eval `dircolors /etc/dir_colors`
        ;;
    *)
        local TITLEBAR=''
        ;;
esac

# shell prompt
PS1="${TITLEBAR}\
[\u@\h:\W]\
\$ "
PS2='> '
PS4='+ '
}

proml
unset proml
export PS1
