Menu
I am not able to rename terminal window after upgrading into Ubuntu 15.04. There are three options with the right click -
And there is no option 'Set title' which was present on previous versions of Ubuntu.
My gnome-terminal version is 3.14.2

If you are a Ubuntu user, you can change the title of a gnome-terminal tab using the HUD. While in the gnome-terminal, hit Alt to bring up the HUD, type the first few letters, e.g. "tit", hit enter and type in your new title. This is a very quick method and avoids using the mouse.
GNOME Terminal is a terminal emulator for the GNOME desktop environment written by Havoc Pennington and others. Terminal emulators allow users to access a UNIX shell while remaining on their graphical desktop.
In case anyone is still looking, The .bashrc solution proposed by Kirby worked for me too
set-title(){
ORIG=$PS1
TITLE="\e]2;$@\a"
PS1=${ORIG}${TITLE}
}
then from trminal : $ set-title your-title

There's an answer over here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/616404/ubuntu-15-04-fresh-install-cant-rename-gnome-terminal-tabs
In summary: The option was removed :/ There are some workarounds, of various levels of clunkiness.
