How can the main window title in Squeak and Pharo be set?

How can the main window title in Squeak and Pharo be set?

In Pharo I thought it could be set in the System -> Settings Menu but
couldn't find anything there.

Can it be set only in code?

Try this in Squeak:

HostWindowProxy basicNew primitiveWindowTitle: 1 string: 'My Title' squeakToUtf8

In Etoys we have a convenience method for this:

DisplayScreen hostWindowTitle: 'My Title'

(because Etoys shows the current project name as window title)

I have tried them both in Squeak 4.3 but they don't work.

DisplayScreen hostWindowTitle: 'My Title'. -> hostWindowTitle Unknown
selector error.

HostWindowProxy basicNew primitiveWindowTitle: 1 string: 'My Title'
squeakToUtf8 -> results in Unknown variable HostWindowProxy

In Pharo:

DisplayScreen hostWindowTitle: 'My Title'. -> no error message but no effect.

HostWindowProxy basicNew primitiveWindowTitle: 1 string: 'My Title'
squeakToUtf8 -> MNU: ByteString >> squeakToUtf8

When I remove the squeakToUtf8 at the end - ie:

HostWindowProxy basicNew primitiveWindowTitle: 1 string: 'My Title' ->
Error: Unable to set title of Host Window

In fact that is the actual code in

primitiveWindowTitle: id string: titleString
"Set the label of the title bar of the window"
<primitive: 'primitiveHostWindowTitle' module: 'HostWindowPlugin'>
^self error: 'Unable to set title of Host Window'

HostWindowProxy basicNew primitiveWindowTitle: 1 string: 'My Title'
