Perhaps you want to use another format specifier in the tab settings and not use the shell at all. Maybe I misunderstood the question. The "Insert" drop-down in the tab configuration screen will show what is available, if you don't want the shell to fill it in.

One last thing.. how do I get it to only display user@host rather than the full path that I'm currently in on the remote server?

[*] A typical prompt for me is: "garry@ifr$ ". I look at the window title to remind me of the path. I also never show the tabs in konsole. That way there's always enough real estate for the path in my terminal title bar. It works for me. At work, I also use different profiles to get different background colors on terminal sessions depending on what host I am logged into. Then I use different menu items (icons, that is) to log to different hosts. More visual cues to make sure I know my context so I don't do something stupid.
