That seems to be the killer. Thanks to you and several others, I can now
easily set my xterm title bar to whatever I want. Using the bash prompt, I can
put my current working directory into the title for idle shell windows. But I
cannot find a way to execute a command before the "real" command executes in
bash.

On my system, a variable name called WINDOWID shows up, different for every
terminal window. I assume it is some sort of handle to the window in which
the shell is running. Could you write a small X program that queries the X
server for the title of the window with that ID, and writes it to stdout?
