Bug Description

After upgrading from 12.04 to 14.04 or later, it's no longer possible to rename terminal tabs (as a result of unfortunate changes in upstream gnome-terminal).

This feature is extremely useful for people working with terminals (sysadmins, programmers...).

Upstream developer recommends changing names by using escape sequences, which is complicated and unintuitive (and does not always work, i.e. with remote sessions).
