well the directory (and the hostname) isn't much of a problem (even works with
kvt :) but this is not a KDE problem, so follow-ups not on the list but to me

here are some instructions for the different most used shells. Put that in
the correspnding .zshrc .bashrc or similar. 

Keep in mind that ^[ is really the <esc> character and ^G is the <bel>
character, so copy&pasting out of this mail won't work (e.g. ^G means CONTROl-G) 
...  if anybody has problems, I can mail the part to him/her directly ... 

here it comes then (changes and suggestions are welcome :):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

zsh:
chpwd () { print -Pn '^[]0; %m - %~ ^G%' }

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

tcsh:
alias cwdcmd 'echo -n "^[]2;${HOST} - $cwd ^G"'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

bash:  (deluxe version :)

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

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

function cwdtitles()
{
   wintitle $PWD
   icontitle $ICONTITLE
}
