You can set the tab title of konsole with something like

setkonsoletabtitle () {
        echo -en "\e]30;$*\a"
}

For ssh I have another shell function:

ssh () {
        setkonsoletabtitle "$1"
        command ssh "$@"
        cd .
	# that sets the tab title back to the normal "local look" here
}

Of course this only works nicely if you use "ssh host" or "ssh
user@host" and not "ssh -l user host".
