Title:
  Tab names can't always be set via --title

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  If I run gnome-terminal like this:

   cp ~/.bashrc ~/.bashrc-orig
   cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~
   gnome-terminal --active --title "Default" --tab --title "Bash" -e "bash" --tab --title "Emacs" -e "emacs" --tab --title "NoRC" -e "bash --norc"

  The third and fourth tabs show up named correctly, "Emacs" and "NoRC".

  If I append "unset PS1" to the end of the .bashrc, it makes all the
  tabs show up properly.  Of course, then I only get the default command
  line prompts in the session.

  The expected behavior (IMHO) is that if --title is explicitly set on
  the command line, then it should be used preferentially to the prompt.

  My use case is I start up gnome-terminal from ~/.xsession pre-seeded
  with multiple tabs each running a different command, and I like to
  name each tab to differentiate them.
