Heiko,

If you are talking about the individual XTerm windows, I use the following
in bash:

function settitle() { echo -n "^[]2;$@^G^[]1;$@^G"; }

where ^[ is the actual Esc character (Ascii 27), and ^G is the BEL
character (Ascii 7).  Or you can put the above in your bash prompt.

If you mean the title of the whole X screen (when run in rooted mode), I'm
sure that if there isn't an option for it now, it's a 2-line patch (to add
-title)...
