[Bug 1311911] [NEW] Append remote hostname to gnome-terminal title by default

[Jorge O. Castro]

Public bug reported:

The window matching in 14.04 is perfect for finding windows you think
you've lost. Sysadmins usually use a bunch of terminals, it would be
cool if Super-W then typing in a remote hostname would Just Work with
Unity's spread and searching.

To do this we need to set gnome-terminal's title when a person ssh'es to
a machine to have something like "jorge at remotehost" in the title. This
would allow the spread to search for those windows.
