xterm title not setable


Hi,

I'm running a pretty new cygwin installation (started from scratch about a month ago) and can't get the title of an xterm window to be anything other than the current directory. I'm running on win XP. I start the cygwin X server, and get an xterm. I then launch new xterm windows with "xterm -title foo", "xterm -T foo", "xterm -name foo", "xterm -e some-command", and always, the window's title, both in the window title bar and on the windows taskbar at the screen bottom, is always the current dir. It seems I sometimes see another title briefly flash on the title bar, only to succumb to the awesome might of pwd...

Any ideas?
Thanks.
