  it can be the program you are running, for example the vim changes the
title to VIM - filename, mc (midnight commander) also change the title,
it puts the hint there (IIRC it's configurable)

  it most probably is not xterm itself, nor fvwm. It is either in shell
startup files (like other posts suggested) or the program you are
running. Probably.
