ovs-sandbox: Show the running program on xterm's title

When debugging multiple programs under GDB, it will be easier to identify xterms with the program name displayed as title. Without this patch, xterms will have the title of "gdb", which is the first program the xterm executes. This change is useful for the next patch.
