Isn`t the titlebar set by the windows manager. In that case there
should be some functions that can talk to the manager. Don`t ask me
what they are. You might want to look at some source codes. I guess it 
could also be that the manager reads the title from the window
structure.
Ok I found it:

       XSetWMName, XGetWMName, XStoreName, XFetchName - set or
       read a window's WM_NAME property
