Hi,
as far as I know, the xterm control sequences do not change just
because you change your window manager.
Here is something from my "~/.bashrc". It puts a useful title in the
xterm window bar.
############################################################
if [ -z "$HOST" ]; then
export HOST=`hostname`
fi
# The string between quotes is used to put the CWD
# in the Xterm title bar. -- ECL
if [ "$TERM" = "xterm" ]; then
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -en "\033]2;Xterm - ${LOGNAME}_at_${HOST}:${PWD}\007"'
fi
############################################################
Have fun.
Emilio.
