Xterm is involved, but I suspect it's mostly a shell thing. There
are some escape sequences which can be sent to an xterm, asking it
to change its window title. It sounds to me as if your .profile
/ .login / .bashrc / whatever is set up to use one of these escape
sequences to set the xterm title to the name of whatever host you've
logged into.
In principle, a window manager is entitled to ignore such hints
from xterm and/or other apps. In practice, I don't know of any
way to tell FVWM to do that.
