   Does this set the window title:   
      
   $ export TITLE="hello world"   
   $ echo -en "\e]30;$TITLE\a"   
      
   bash should set the window title to the current command, using the same   
   escape sequence.  If it doesn't:   
      
   a) you aren't using bash. Maybe it needs to be enabled in your shell?   
      
   b) bash is not configured to set the title, I'm not sure where you'd find   
   that   
      
   c) your terminal is not advertising itself as a suitable type that uses the   
   escape code.  What's your TERM variable set to?   
      
   d) your terminal is choosing not to display it, for some reason (perhaps   
   the configuration you mention above)
