Try reading this:

Also look for a program called "xtitle" (there are actually many different 
ones, but they all do the same thing) which can help this.

In tcsh and zsh you can define a function named "precmd" which you can use 
for this:

function precmd () {
        xtitle $USERNAME at $HOST:$PWD
}
