Confirmed -

def set_title(title,mode=0):
        sys.stdout.write('\033]%d;%s\007' % (mode,title))

works fine, though the mode does not seem to do anything.

konsole seems to only change the first part of the name, so I get "foo
- Shell - ipython" while gnome-terminal goes all the way.

Now there's our posix implementation for this functionality, I suppose
it's harmless on plain old tty as well.
