How do I set the window title of a QEMU session?

I am making a demonstration of some different bootloaders. I want to run all four at the same time, if they're all named QEMU, how can you tell which is which? I prefer to set the titlebar, so I don't interfere with the bootloader. If it helps, I am using qemu-system-x86_64 on wsl -d ubuntu.

Just use the -name option to the QEMU command-line. The VM window title will look like:

QEMU ("Your guest VM name")

From the documentation:

-name name

Sets the name of the guest. This name will be displayed in the SDL window caption. The name will also be used for the VNC server. Also optionally set the top visible process name in Linux. Naming of individual threads can also be enabled on Linux to aid debugging.
