A prompt in the window title for a standalone GUI is potentially even more
problematic, because it's not a "linear" plotting paradigm.  A GUI responds to
user input to and displays plots based on that, no pressing return needed for
anything.  Unless I'm misunderstanding what's being proposed, I don't think
anything about hitting return should be in the default window title.
