On modern Linux, the virtual consoles (i.e. not inside X-windows; 
accessed as [ctrl-]alt-F1 thru F6) are typically /dev/tty[1-6]; the rest 
of the terminals (within X-terminals, 'screen', etc.) are /dev/pts/[1 - 
infinity]

use 'tty' to find this out for the current shell.

I imagine this is what the fish code is filtering for, and it makes some 
sense since the virtual consoles don't have a title-bar, but I'm not 
sure if anything actually breaks if you try to set the vc's title-bar. 
You could try it! Or just filter more intelligently to distinguish 
between the Mac and Linux device situations.
