I don't know if that helps but I have seen 'your strange prompt'
doing this:
[emilio@mipc]$ su

You might dig through your .bashrc, .bash_profile, /etc/bashrc, and
/etc/profile
to see what has changed. I'd look for the string '\s\v', usually
associated
with PS1 for the main prompt. But it might be PS2, 3, or 4 depending
on the
gods of bash and what you've been doing.
Then investigate why that got changed. (Since it is in your window
session there
might even be an /etc/X11 change biting you.)

I have two computers set up identically and have spent the last
hour trying to find a difference in the files you mention. If
there is a dif. I missed it. I do see some stuff in
/etc/X11/xinit that is dated 3 Mar. which is suspect, but I
found no difference there yet ...

I'm not certain but I would guess that's when this happened. I
remeber finding that the XFCE file manager, Thunar, was missing
and instaling that with yum or yumex, I forget which now, and
having some trouble, removed and re-installed. That's probably
when things changed. I shut it down and didn't boot it 'til today.
Well it's minor, only thing I've found is that "ll" wont work if
I su to root, have to use ls, that's minor.
I don't think it's worth a lot of time, I am considering
replacing that computer with another used one of slightly newer
vintage. Got to see what FedEx brings ...
Thanks,
Bob
