Hum... The PS1 setting. Nope, that's not the problem.
The root of the settitle() function is NOT the setting of PS1. It's setting in /etc/profile is commented out. In my local .profile, PS1 is set to just '$PWD'. I have verified that there are no other hidden settings of PS1.
I tried your settitle() function, and the title remains unchanged: basename of the shell.
My posting in the archives envolves the use of 'rxvt' only and has nothing to do with xterm. I always startup 'startxwin.sh' from a non-rxvt window (e.g. the console window).
Regardless what shell I'm using, it always seems to get it's basename into the window. Hum....
Does anyone else want to try a stab at this problem? Brian Dessent wrote:

Specifically, the default Cygwin prompt (PS1) contains characters that set the title so anything you do that doesn't involve changing PS1 will have no effect -- or more precisely, your echo command above does set the title for a few milliseconds, until the next prompt overwrites it. (In your rxvt example, you aren't starting a login shell and thus /etc/profile isn't sourced and PS1 isn't set, which is presumably why it works there.)
