Is this what you're looking for?
Below is the source of the default window title.
Modifying it permanently can be done by editing this file too. Temporary
changes while the Gnome-terminal window is running are explained below.
(excerpt from /etc/bashrc:)
case $TERM in
xterm*)
PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;${USER}@${HOSTNAME}: ${PWD}\007"'
;;
*)
;;
esac
While in the Gnome-term you can issue a command to change the window
title.
$ export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;phraseandvariables\007"'
Works here for me. This is independent across multiple windows, so each
can be named after one of the seven dwarves.
