Assuming you are using bash, modify file /etc/bashrc removing line
starting with 
PROMPT_COMMAND=
(or, you can rename the variable to something different);
If you want to manually set xterm window title, you might find the
following script useful (assumes /bin/sh is really bash)
#!/bin/sh
#Sets XTERM name and icon name ...
if test "$1" != ""; then
echo -en "\033]2;$1 \007"
echo -en "\033]1;$1 \007"
else
echo "Should specify term window name"
fi
