$ gnome-terminal --help-all .... -t, --title=TITLE Set the terminal title .... That does not set the first part of WM_CLASS but WM_NAME, and an application running inside that terminal may change it, but maybe will do? There are also .... --class=CLASS Program class as used by the window manager --name=NAME Program name as used by the window manager .... but what precisely they affect and how you will have to dig out yourself.
