That's controlled via allowWindowOps:
allowTitleOps (class AllowTitleOps)
Specifies whether control sequences that modify the window
title or icon name should be allowed. The default is "true."
allowWindowOps (class AllowWindowOps)
Specifies whether extended window control sequences (as used in
dtterm) should be allowed. These include several control
sequences which manipulate the window size or position, as well
as reporting these values and the title or icon name. Each of
these can be abused in a script; curiously enough most terminal
emulators that implement these restrict only a small part of
the repertoire. For fine-tuning, see disallowedWindowOps. The
default is "false."
(my recent changes in-filled some empty slots in the dtterm list, but did
not alter the allowTitleOps feature, since that was separate from dtterm).
