xmoon, if you are experimenting with setting the terminal title and
indeed PS1 is resetting it, try putting a sleep command after the
title-setting echo:

echo -ne "\033]2;I am ${USER}@${HOSTNAME} at ${PWD}\007"; sleep 3

Now you can admire the new title for three seconds.

Csaba, whose echo $PS1 says
\[\e]0;\u@\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[00;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\n\$
