Under the previous version, 14.04 LTS, I could quickly hit 'ALT-t', then 's', then type in the text that would appear on that terminal tab. This is HUGELY IMPORTANT, as the main reason I run Linux is so that I can quickly and easily do my work, involving dozens of terminal tabs, ssh'ed into dozens of different servers. Generally, when I open a new tab, I label it for future reference. Imagine having a dozen tabs open, some of them connected to production databases, and others connected to development databases. I need to be able to easily identify which ones are which. (I also edited the config files, to make the active tab be red instead of grey.)
But now that I've upgraded to 16.04 LTS, I'm crippled! I can't find any way to set the names of the terminal tabs. I'm not sure what I'll do! Go hunting for a different terminal program, maybe?
