How might I turn off (or change) the display of the current path
in a terminal window?
That is being controlled by $PS1 in bashrc (or the config of
another command interpreter like ksh if you use that).

You can set that temporary by issuing PS1= with the content you
want.
That doesn't apply in Konsole for one. Don't know if it applies in
other terminal emulators.
And I am using Xfce:

$ echo $PS1
\[\e]133;D;$?\e\\\e]133;A\e\\\]${PROMPT_START@P}\[\e[${PROMPT_COLOR}${PROMPT_HIGHLIGHT:+;$PROMPT_HIGHLIGHT}m\]${PROMPT_USERHOST@P}\[\e[0m\]${PROMPT_SEPARATOR@P}\[\e[${PROMPT_DIR_COLOR-${PROMPT_COLOR}}${PROMPT_HIGHLIGHT:+;$PROMPT_HIGHLIGHT}m\]${PROMPT_DIRECTORY@P}\[\e[0m\]${PROMPT_END@P}\$\[\e[0m\]
\[\e]133;B\e\\\]

Wow!

So a simple test:

PS1="rgm@LX140e-3:dki-try2$ "
rgm@LX140e-3:dki-try2$

Oh course, I loose all the nice coloration.
Check the bashrc for ${PROMPT_DIRECTORY@P}.

I have changed PS1:

echo $PS1
[\u \W]$

So that PROMPT_DIRECTORY is not what is displayed:

[rgm dki-try2]$ echo ${PROMPT_DIRECTORY@P}
~/data/htt/Projects/Critical/drafts/draft-ietf-drip-rid/dki-try2

PS1 seems to be what I want to play with...
