With zsh, I use a precmd() function that updates the title every time
the prompt is about to appear, e.g., portmaster exits:
precmd()
{
case ${TERM} in
xterm*)
print -Pn "\e]0;%n@%m\a"
;;
esac
}
It comes in useful when using ssh to connect to different accounts.
When I exit one account which had reset the title, the title changes
back to the previous account.
bash users may find something equivalent.
