Well. . . .since you mentioned it, I actually do this:
if [ "${TERM}" = "xterm" ]; then
if [ "${GROUP:-}" != "" ]; then
PS1="\[\033]0;\h:${GROUP}:\w\007\033]1;\h\007\]\h\$ "
else
PS1="\[\033]0;\h:\w\007\033]1;\h\007\]\h\$ "
fi
else
if [ -n "${GROUP:-}" ]; then
PS1="${GROUP}\h:\w\$ "
else
PS1="\h:\w\$ "
fi
fi
