You can do a

     $ cmd /c title whatever

To change the title.  I have a bash script named "t" that contains the 
line "cmd /c title bash" in my path.  Every time my title is messed up 
(almost always after using lynx), I simply type "t" and the title is 
restored.

Not as politically correct as the "^[e;!@#$%^&*" alternative but it works.
