I don't know how to make that work with term-mode, but an alternative to
outright removing that line would be to do something like:
if [ -z "$INSIDE_EMACS" ]; then
# set window title, unless inside emacs
PS1='\[\033]0;${PWD//[^[:ascii:]]/?}\007\]'
else
PS1=''
fi
PS1="$PS1"'\u@\h $ ' # user@host $<space>
Thought it was worth mentioning.
