No. coLinux console is changed the title line after starting the 
colinux-console-nt.exe or colinux-console-fltk.exe.

You can set the titly by windows and disable the console spawning and 
than run colinux console from explorer or from other command prompt. 
Than you would have a title line, but only for the colinux-daemon, not 
for the console.

  C:\> title "your text"
  C:\> colinux-daemon -d ...
  open second prompt
  C:\> colinux-console-nt.exe
