           Summary: /etc/bash.bashrc: when ssh-connected to server, the
                    title bar of x-term is not updated
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com
        ReportedBy: kleist@postkiosk.de
         QAContact: qa@suse.de

When connected to a server via ssh, $DISPLAY is typically unset. Hence the
following lines in "/etc/bash.bashrc" ...

_u="\u@\h"
_p=">"
if test \( "$TERM" = "xterm" -o "${TERM#screen}" != "$TERM" \) \
  -a -z "$EMACS" -a -z "$MC_SID" -a -n "$DISPLAY"
    then
        _t="\$(ppwd \l)"
    fi

.. make _t empty, and PS1 will not make ppwd() update the titlebar of an xterm
compatible terminal window (such as gnome-terminal).

This is easy to work around in the server's "/etc/bash.bashrc.local" ...

PS1="\$(ppwd \l)$PS1"

.. but it would be handy if it worked out-of-the-box.
