That's a window-naming policy, and can already be done in KDE.
In fact I think it defaults to that.  For instance, when I open new
terminal windows they receive banner titles "Xterm <2>" "Xterm <3>"
and so on.

Anyhow gnuplot already allows you to specify a window title,
so all that's wanting is a way to change the prompt. 
	myname = "Foo"
	set term x11 title myname
	set prompt myname."> "

Probably safer to let the application do the naming.
Pure numbers are not the most informative identifiers.
