    Hi again --

    % Aha; thanks.

    ...
    % Interestingly enough, I do not see any value for $_t or ${_t} in my
    % shell, but $PS1 includes lovely escape sequences :-(

    Putting these two together was enough. I found where _t was set a few
    different ways based on term type a bit above that, and that was where
    the escape sequences came in.

    Rather than muck about with the /etc files, to lose them in an upgrade, I
    tried resetting PS1 in my .bashrc, and it was indeed soon enough to avoid
    mucking up my titlebar. Yay!

    Shame on SuSE for changing that, though :-(

    Thanks again to all & HAND

    :-D
