Try this - I've been using it under Compaq Tru64 UNIX for a few years,
and although I haven't used it under Linux it may a useful starting point:

#! /usr/bin/ksh

myName=`basename $0`

usage="
Usage: $myName message
"
if [[ $# -lt 1 ]]; then
    print - "$usage"
    exit 1
fi

print -n "\033]1;$@\a"          # icon title
print -n "\033]2;$@\a"          # window title

exit 0
