xterm title not shown

[Hans Werner Strube]

The title of xterm defined with option -T or -title does not appear in
the title bar, instead the current directory is shown there.  I do not
know whether this is a problem of xterm or the window manager, but it
happens both with twm and mwm.

 The default /etc/profile sets up PS1 with the xterm escape sequences
 to put the username and current directory into the title. Either edit
 /etc/profile or override it in your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_rc.

Sorry. That should have been ~/.bashrc, of course.
