Well. . . .since you mentioned it, I actually do this:

        if [ "${TERM}" = "xterm" ]; then
                if [ "${GROUP:-}" != "" ]; then
                        PS1="\[\033]0;\h:${GROUP}:\w\007\033]1;\h\007\]\h\$ "
                else
                        PS1="\[\033]0;\h:\w\007\033]1;\h\007\]\h\$ "
                fi
        else
                if [ -n "${GROUP:-}" ]; then
                        PS1="${GROUP}\h:\w\$ "
                else
                        PS1="\h:\w\$ "
                fi
        fi

BUT, he wasn't asking about all the nitty-gritty details.
