You may need a vacation, but you also need to set your shell prompt up to
set the xterm's title bar to indicate the host and working directory. For
bash:

# Show path in xterm title bar. Originally from Russel & Crawford, "Unix &
# Linux Answers", Osborne, 1998

if [ "$TERM" = xterm ]; then
PS1='\u(at)\h \$ \[\033]0;xterm \h:\w\007\]'
else
PS1='\u(at)\h \w \\$ '
fi
