It doesn't seem like you should have to use -title to set the title
bar back to what it should have been if you hadn't tried to change
the *icon* title (-n).

There is also some weird interaction with -title and the -e option.
Try all of the following and see if they behave as you'd _expect_.

	xterm -title Boo
	xterm -e /bin/csh
	xterm -title Boo -e /bin/csh

Again:	X11r4
	SunOS 4.1
	olwm

Thanks
Robert
