I set this in .xsession or .xinitrc depending on the distro I'm using 
I'm guessing yours will be .xinitrc -

xterm -bg black -fg white -sp -geometry +125+115 -fn 10x20 &

In ~/.bashrc

# set title bar on xterm
case $TERM in
    xterm*)
        PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;`hostname`\007"'
        ;;
        *)
        ;;
esac
