You could try customising your aterm titlebar by adding the following
to your ~/.bashrc
----------------snip-----------
## Change the window title of X terminals
case $TERM in
        xterm*|rxvt*|Eterm)
                PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne
"\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\007"'
                ;;
        screen)
                PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne
"\033_${USER}@${HOSTNAME%%.*}:${PWD/$HOME/~}\033\\"'
                ;;
esac
----------------snip-----------

You'll also need to add it to your /root/.bashrc as well if you want
terms to be titled there as well.

(This comes with gentoo installations, I lay no claim to being a bash expert :-)
