Actually, the above fails if bash is invoked from a process for which
/proc/$PPID/exename doesn't exist.  For example, if I shell out of Windows-based
gvim, $PPID is 1.  I found that the following works for this case too.

function setPS1() \
   { PS1="\[\e]0;\w\a\]\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n\$" ; }
if [ -a /proc/$PPID/exename ]; then
   case "$(< /proc/$PPID/exename)" in
      */xterm) function setPS1() {
         PS1="\[\033]0;\w\007\033[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[35m\w\033[0m\]\n$" ;
      } ;;
   esac
fi
