Thanks for the answers.
I thought that i had the solution. Grep showed me that ps1 was only in
.bashrc. After making a copy of .bashrc I removed the entire if ... fi
section that contained PS1.
I added PS1="\u@\h >" to the end of .bashrc and sourced the file - it
worked, in that terminal. However, if I open a new terminal (I'm using
xfce4-terminal) the prompt is back to the corrupted one!
Ah, xfce might have a(n annoying) default setting. KDE had a similar
problem for a while. If so searching your home dir for the change won't
help as the default was either in a system config file or baked into the
binaries.
Perhaps search online for setting xfce environment variables.
I forget exactly what I had to do with KDE before, but it was a
configuration change to fix the default behavior.
ciao,

Rebooting the computer doesn't solve the problem.
I have initiated a search of the entire file system for PS1= , although I
suspecct it take a while.
