Hehe, well whatever works I guess. Regardless, it's likely a special case will have to be created for xterm and non-xterm logins. You don't want escape sequences meant to target the title of an xterm showing up if you login on the console...

Something like:

case $TERM in
    screen)			<screen PS1> ;;
    rxvt|xterm*)		<xterm PS1> ;;
    linux*|ansi*|beos-ansi*)	<non-xterm PS1> ;;
    *)				<generic/colorless PS1> ;;
esac

I usually don't keep too many windows on the same workspace and shade alot, so I don't have the same problems some might in locating windows.

However, that bit mentioned earlier about a border showing up around the current window when cycling sounds like a nice feature.
