zsh shell config suboptimal

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

xterm titlebar says "xterm" - not "lintian@puredyne: ~" - and when you run sudo su (which uses bash) the titlebar changes to "root@puredyne: ~", and stays that way even after you exit the subshell - a bit confusing to be in a non-root shell in an xterm that says root in the window manager, even a bit pointless saying just "xterm" when something more useful could be there (like current dir, etc)...

also the alias settings make it annoying if you want a non-coloured non-human-readable non-localed-time 'ls' (eg for seeing exact byte counts...), and the tab completion behaviour is confusing to me too...

anyway I personally will edit my liveUSB /etc/adduser.conf to set DSHELL=/bin/bash and hope that that does the trick

I've committed (rev 344) simple titlebar setting. On my machine it works although curiously xterm/rxvt doesn't update the title for the first 5 seconds or so.

If the alias inconveniences are important please file a separate bug for them since I'm closing this bug as fixed...
