Why the print statement?? Here's my whole setup, uncluding
xterm title setting...

PROMPT='%B[%l] %n@%m %1v %b(%B%h%b)%B %t%b '
if [[ $TERM = xterm || $TERM = vs100 || $TERM_PROGRAM = OS_Terminal ]] ; then
  RPROMPT="%B(%~)%b%{^[]2;%n@%m:[%(7c|...%6c|%7c)]^G%}"
else
  RPROMPT="%B(%~)%b"
fi

# RPROMPT="%B(%~)%b%{^[]2;%n@%m:[%(7c|...%6c|%7c)]^G%}"

function precmd {
  setopt no_ksh_arrays local_options
  case "${${$(uptime)##*"load average: "}%%,*}" in
    0.[0-4]*) psvar[1]='%^)' ;;
    0.[5-9]*) psvar[1]=';^]' ;;
