Dear Thomas,

The "problem" is not with the meanings or descriptions of AllowTitleOps
(though a warning that "setting AllowWindowOps is insecure" is missing).

The problem is that
  perl -e 'print "\e\]0;;bad-command;\a\e\[21t"'
should set the title (then maybe retrieve it); but that setting does not
happen on Ubuntu. (The setting works fine on Debian, and there is no
retrieval because Debian sensibly barred that.)

Cheers, Paul
