   You need to write the string ESC]0;Title^G  to the terminal.   
      
   I have this in a little script called xtn which does this.   
      
   To generate ESC in bash use ^V^[   where '^' is holding down the control key.   
   ^G is done like wise. You will have to wrap the strings in quotes   
      
   e.g.  echo -n "^[]0;"$1"^G"   
      
   good luck. I've just done this in LXTerminal with bash as my shell.
