may be you mean <current dir> - <current dir> - Konsole
at least that is what I get in such case.

There are session name and window title. Some programs do set window title;
this is relatively portable in the sense it works on xterm and derivatives as
well as konsole and even cygwin as far as I remember. Windows title set this
way comes before session name.
what you could do
a) configure all programs you use to no set window title. This may be
impossible (e.g. sometimes I log in remotely in a system where I simply do
not have any way to turn this off).
b) set session name to some "innocent" fixed string and use window title
instead yourself. Setting session name to empty string gives ugly:
<your window title> - - Konsole
may be it is possible to turn session name and Konsole off completely but I
cannot find it.
Oh, and you set window title with
print -nP -u2 '\033]0;<your title goes here>\a
