on my debian/potato incarnation, my rxvt title bars work
like a charm -- the BASH prompt above
1) sets the rxvt title bar (between \[<esc>]0; and \007\]) to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: /current/working/directory
2) then shows me, in color, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my login and the
server name),
3) then my current path, in bold,
4) then a newline
5) and finally the standard '$ '.
does it not work for you? what exactly are you trying?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #20 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
:
What TERMINAL TYPES are available for "export TERM=xyz"? Look in
/etc/terminfo or /etc/termcap and pick one similar to your
terminal emulator's capabilities. Common ones are "linux" (for
console), "xterm", "vt102" and "rxvt". See "man terminfo" or "man
termcap" if you're determined to learn the nitty-gritty.
