The display function has been merged, only the initarg is not present
(it is currently :title-string in the code). This initarg (and slot) are
not mentioned in the CLIM II specification (which is binding to McCLIM project):

http://bauhh.dyndns.org:8000/clim-spec/29-4.html#_1683

Most notably we are not implementing CLIM 2.2.2 as specified by Franz, although
we have adopted some extensions proposed in their user guide.

I've added this initarg for convenience, so you should be able to use
:display-string as an initarg for the title pane.

Sorry Robert for not merging the patch, I must have forgot about it. Sending
patches on mailing list is fine (I'll try to pick them up), but the preferred
and more convenient way for us is to send pull requests on github. We try to
peer review each pull request and since they are "there" unless explicitly closed,
there is no threat that they will be mistakenly forgotten.

Best regards,
Daniel
