Description Mike Brown 2008-11-10 21:10:04 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In my .bashrc I have:

export PROMPT_COMMAND="printf \"\033]0;[\$HOST] \$PWD\a\""

which is supposed to automatically change the window title of terms to show the host & pwd.  this works correctly in xterm, rxvt, aterm, and eterm, but not konsole.

Hello,

By default, Konsole automatically generates tabs and window titles from the currently running program and directory.  If you want to see the window title set by the shell you need to change your tab title settings.  

Go to Settings -> Edit Current Profile -> Tabs, clear the title boxes and click Insert -> Window Title Set By Shell.
