Greetings:

I notice that bash changes the window banner based on the last command
executed. I always configure my x windows to show hostname:pwd. It
allows me to leave my prompt very small as well as avoiding the nervous
pwd'ing I usually do with only a '$ ' for PS1.

Is there any way to configure this in the current bash executable or 
would it require a programming change?

Oh, and I am amazed at the progress the gnu-win32 package is making.
