How might I turn off (or change) the display of the current path in a terminal window?
That is being controlled by $PS1 in bashrc (or the config of another command interpreter like ksh if you use that).
You can set that temporary by issuing PS1= with the content you want.
That doesn't apply in Konsole for one. Don't know if it applies in other terminal emulators.
And I am using Xfce:
$ echo $PS1 [\e]133;D;$?\e\\e]133;A\e\]${PROMPT_START@P}[\e[${PROMPT_COLOR}${PROMPT_HIGHLIGHT:+;$PROMPT_HIGHLIGHT}m]${PROMPT_USERHOST@P}[\e[0m]${PROMPT_SEPARATOR@P}[\e[${PROMPT_DIR_COLOR-${PROMPT_COLOR}}${PROMPT_HIGHLIGHT:+;$PROMPT_HIGHLIGHT}m]${PROMPT_DIRECTORY@P}[\e[0m]${PROMPT_END@P}$[\e[0m] [\e]133;B\e\]
Wow!
So a simple test:
PS1="rgm@LX140e-3:dki-try2$ " rgm@LX140e-3:dki-try2$
Oh course, I loose all the nice coloration.
Check the bashrc for ${PROMPT_DIRECTORY@P}.
