Presumably this is because user dyy is using bash, and bash's default
PS1 sets the xterm title, as had been the case for over 14 years.
See #176734.

Apparently your shell's PS1 leaves the xterm title alone.  You may want
to change that, look in /etc/skel/.bashrc how to do this.
Alternatively, you can stop programs running in your xterm from messing
with the window title, look for "allowTitleOps" in the xterm manpage.

In any case, there is nothing else xterm can do here.  If it were to
restore the window title every time a child of your shell terminates,
the purpose of programs like xtitle and xtermcontrol would be defeated.
Hence I'm closing the bug as not actionable.

Cheers,
       Sven
