This is the FVWM (FVWM-2, actually) mailing list; there's another list

Here's a simple script that might work for you (title.sh)
#! /bin/sh
case "$TERM" in
xterm*) [ -n "$1" ] && echo -n "^[]0;${1}";;
esac
Note that the '^[' above should be a literal ESCAPE (Hex 1b) in your
script file and not the two characters I replaced it with above.
Note that your shell may require the use of "echo \c" instead:
#! /bin/sh
case "$TERM" in
xterm*) [ -n "$1" ] && echo "^[]0;${1}\c";;
esac
Anyway, typing "title.sh `pwd`" should then retitle your xterm to the
current working directory. You can use aliases, shell functions, or
hooks to get your shell to run this whenever you change directories.
Consult your shell documentation or man page for more information.

I would really appreciate it if the login command had a better sense of humor.
