Thanks, I found that the bash maintainers changed the /etc/bash.bashrc
with the following which I commented out until I can think of a solution
that involves testing to see if the xterm is called with -T or -n
# 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"'
