0 = both title and icon
1 = icon name
2 = titlebar text

Most X11 terminal emulators use the same protocol.  (ISTR that dtterm  
doesn't, but I don't think most people care any more.)  One other  
gotcha is that Terminal.app on Leopard (dunno about Tiger) treats 0,  
1, 2 the same way so if you set the icon name after the title you end  
up with the icon name in the titlebar.  (OSX uses the titlebar text as  
the icon name when minimized.)
