This is what I use to change the xterm title to include my current host
and directory. The iconname has also been changed to reflect the host.
BTW, this is all for bash. You set your prompt to this string and then
each time your prompt changes, the title/iconname is updated:
PS1="\[\033]0;\h:\w\007\033]1;\h\007\]\h\$ "
The \033 implies an ESC character. The \007 implies a ^G.
