I have this in my .bashrc - it works for all xterm-like apps that
support the extension.
# If this is an xterm set the title to "user@host: dir"
case $TERM in

PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'

The escape sequence used can unfortunately crash some terminal emulators
that weren't coded properly to handle "erroneous" escape sequences
(personally, I'd consider that a fairly serious security hole in the
terminal emulator, since it probably means that any app that can display
text to the terminal window can crash it and/or take it over, which
could for example allow certain remote apps to take over your machine).
