Gnome, Fluxbox, and KDE have no control over or issue with the '-T' option.
Most distributions, if not all, configure their default shell (usually
bash) to step on the title of xterm windows.

I don't have the problem, presumably because the following appears in /etc/bash.bashrc:

# Commented out, don't overwrite xterm -T "title" -n "icontitle" by default.
# If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir
#case "$TERM" in
#xterm*|rxvt*)
#    PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
#    ;;
#*)
#    ;;
#esac

Perhaps something similar would take care of the OP's problem.
