I spend a good part of my life at a shell prompt in a Gnome terminal.

I frequently have a lot of tab's open, and it is helpful for me to set the title
for each tab to some unique setting.

I fired up duckduckgo, and after some searches, I came up with this, as a way to
set the tab title from the command line:

/bin/echo -n "\033]2;your-tab-title-here\007"

This works, but is a little cumbersome.

I've had this in my ~/.cshrc for tcsh for longer that I can remember (since tcsh
was the hot new shell, before zsh, fish, etc. became newer and cooler):

if ($?prompt) then
    if ($?tcsh) then
        if (($term == xterm) || ($term == vs100) || ($term == dtterm)) then
            set prompt='%{\e]2\;%n@%m:%~^g\e]1\;%n@%m^g\r%}%B%n@%m:%b%~ [%t - 
%h] '
        else
            set prompt='%B%n@%m:%b%~ [%t - %h] '
        endif
    endif
endif
