You can get the title back from an xterm, but it's not as simple as
putting it there...  And it only works when you're directly inside the
xterm, not ssh'd into another machine (assuming you sometimes ssh
several levels deep).

Anyway, I've had this snippet floating around my bin directory for a
while:

    xprop -id $WINDOWID | sed -n '/^WM_NAME(STRING)/{s/.*= "//;s/"$//;p;}'

I'm not in a position to test it right now, but it looks like it should
work.  :-)
