I use pretty much the same code for setting xterm's titlebar.  However,
there is one known problem with it: when you leave (^D) your shell,
being ssh'ed to another machine, titlebar still has that remote host
name.  If there was a way to retrieve current title string, sigh.
Unless, of course, I'm missing something here.
