  personally, I like having a very clean prompt and keep the relevant
  information about the shell in the titlebar, hence:

case $TERM in
        linux) declare PS1='\w \$ ';;
        *) declare PS1='\[\e]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]  (\t \d)  \w\a\]\$ ';;
esac

  this gives me titles like:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (hh:mm:ss day month day-of-month) path

  and a prompt consisting of "$ ".  =)
