Subject: vim can't set title without an X connection
X-Reportbug-Version: 1.41.142135

Package: vim
Version: 6.1.000-2
Severity: minor

In order to set the title vim requires both DISPLAY and WINDOWID to be
set.  According to the :help title information xterm and others should
be able to have the title set (abit without being able to reset it to
the previous version) without a X connection.  Using X11 first and
termcap or terminfo for the escape sequence would be preferable for
things like using vim over ssh when the WINDOWID isn't available.

Also, what is the point of connecting to the X server when WINDOWID
isn't available (and not in GUI mode)?
