Testing my own karmic machine: the xterm default "Allow Title Ops" is
ticked, "Allow Window Ops" is not ticked. Apparently regardless of
setting, using
  perl -e 'print "\e\]0;;bad-command;\a\e\[21t"'
does not set the title; but with "Allow Window Ops" ticked, it echoes
the bad command into the input buffer.

Cheers, Paul
