You're running /bin/sh as your shell but have bash
specific escape sequences in your prompt. Change your
prompt (/etc/profile, ~/.profile, etc) or change your
shell (/etc/passwd) to /bin/bash.

Subject: strange characters in Xterm (in X-window)
After I started x-windows. There are strange extra
characters on the top of every window (login, xterm)
which look like the following:
\[\033]0;\w\007
\022[32m\]\u@\h \[\033[33m\w\033[0m\]
These two lines will show up again after each command
I execute in the xterm window.
They look like terminal control code, but how and why
are they displayed in my window? And how do I get rid
of them?
BTW, although I'm using the English verison of
WindowsXP, I set the region (in control panel) to
China to be able to view and input Chinese.
