Do you use BASH?

Try something like this in your .bashrc:
export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -n
"^[]2;`hostname`:`pwd`:`history 1`^G"'

Note that the "^]" and "^G" need to be control characters.

With bash + rxvt ( + linux? ), you should get something like
this for the title of the rxvt:

chris-lap:/home/chris:  6  echo "blackbox rules"

I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to remove the "6"
and to add in the pid of the rxvt.  :)
