in .bashrc / .bash_login depending on your xterms, something like:
xtitle () { echo -n -e "\033]0;$*\007"; }
if [ "x$TERM" = xxterm ]
then xtitle $USER@$HOST
fi
This also depends on what you mean by a "better way to do that." I
use(d) this in a "alias cd=" to display the path in the window title
every time pwd changed.
