Setting xterm title over ssh problems

[pgrodt <pgrodt at tecore dot com>]

Forgive me if this is not really a cygwin question, I'm uncertain.  I am
spawning xterm instances while ssh fowarding a linux box to cygwin-xfree,
and am unable to set the title of these windows.  I first tried calling
xterm with the '-title' argument, which works for about a 10th of a second
and then resets to $CWD.

specifically:
<execute startxwin.exe>
[user@cygwinlhost ~]$ ssh -Y remoteHost
[user@remotehost ~]$ xterm -title wazzap &

So I read http://www.nabble.com/How-to-add-a-title-to-xterm-tf679887.html

and tried the script contained in that thread:

[user@remotehost sbin]$ ./setxtitle.sh wazzap
\033]0;wazzap\a\c
also tried:
[user@remotehost sbin]$ \033]0;wazzap\a\c > $(tty)

but neither had any effect.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

FYI:
[user@cygwinhost ~]$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 my-pc 1.5.21(0.156/4/2) 2006-07-30 14:21 i686 Cygwin

[user@remotehost sbin]$ uname -a
Linux remotehost 2.4.21-40.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Feb 2 22:22:39 EST 2006 i686
