I've just recently found the escape codes that can be used to dynamically set the session name and love the functionality, but sometimes I still like to manually change the session name.  Unfortunately if I do that the session name gets immediately set back to the value in the escape code as soon as I perform some action (pretty much, press any key).

I'd prefer that if I manually set the session name that it would be preserved - I'm not sure if there would be any way to "clear" the custom session name (maybe the current "clear" button would handle this?).

I'm currently setting my session name dynamically by putting the following in my .bashrc:

export PS1=$PS1"\[\e]30;\h:\W\a\e[28;0t\]"
