Thank you for this patch. My rxvt loves it ! :)

I enhanced it a bit:

    1) The malloced space was never freed. Fixed by replacing
       it with an automatic array.

    2) Home directory portion of the path is converted
       to '~'. It saves space which is valuable in taskbar
       buttons.

    3) FTP passwords are now stripped from the path.

The modified version is attached to this message.

Bye.
