Suggested by the sudo discussion.
When I open a new XFCE terminal, the window title is "terminal".
If I ssh to another computer via ssh mooch, the title changes to "sdstern@mooch:~" Typing "exit" to return to my desktop does not affect the window title.
Starting clean, "ssh -p 12345 linode.sterndata.com" does NOT change the window title.
Anyone know what's going on with XFCE Terminal?
Also, this is exactly the same thing I see if I use gnome-terminal instead, so this is probably a Works-As-Designed. Help me understand the design!

Right click on the terminal and bring up preferences.
What do you have the "Dynamically-set title" option set to?

Great.
Then the issue is likely your shell config... bash by default.
However, I thought bash was setup to update title by default. It seems to here.
Have you modified any of your bash files? ~/.bashrc, etc?

These seem oaky to me.
You need to customise your PS1 variable to get dynamically updated titles. For Bash, the window title has to be enclosed in \e]2;...\a. Since these are non-printable, to ensure proper wrapping of your command line for long lines, it is advisable to wrap the sequence in [...]. e.g. in my PS1, I have this snippet: [\e]2;\u@\H:\w\a]. This sets the title to "user@host:working_dir".
Hope this helps,
