The command "ppwd" is new to me. In my shell, it's a shell procedure defined in /etc/bash.bashrc and emits multiple terminal escape sequences but does not appear to enclose them in the required \[ and \]. The comment on its definition is "Set xterm prompt with short path (last 18 characters)". I tried using it in a BASH shell in Konsole, and it yields no prompt at all. I'd probably drop it and directly refer to the values you want in your prompt: $USER, $HOST, $PWD etc. Do you care which terminal you're using (\l is replaced by "the basename of the shell's terminal device name" (search for PS1 in the BASH man page).
