Here is another cool thing: you can have the prompt set the title of the
xterm for you.
This way, in the taskbar i see the path 1st, so when there's a bunch of
them open, i know which is which.
#PS1="\[\033]0;\w: \u\007\] <-- sets title |||| sets prompt -->
#\[\033[33m\]\w \$ "
if test "$(tty | grep -c /dev/pts/)" != "0" ; then # if in X11
PS1="\[\033]0;\w: \u\007\]\[\033[33m\]\w \$ \[\033[0m\]"
else
PS1="\[\033[32m\]\w \$ \[\033[0m\]" # if in text mode,
there is no title
fi
