Actually, the best thing to do would be to be compatible with xterm's
escape sequences. For those who didn't know: xterm recognises certain
escape sequences as a command to set the title of the terminal window.
Many text mode apps like links, mc and ncftp actually support this.

Attached is a screenshot of my desktop. Note that all 3 windows are
xterms.
