I control my prompts from my ~/.bashrc with this:

if [ "$PS1" ]; then

    PS1='[\#] $ '

    case $TERM in
    Eterm*)
        PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
 	;;
    xterm*)
        PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
	;;
    linux*)
        PS1='\u@\h:\w\$'
	;;
    *)
	;;
    esac
fi

This keys off the $TERM variable.
