I don't know if there's much need for custom working set titles, but
if you want them, then I think yes, this would be a nice way to
implement it. However, make sure you put in some way for users to
discover this functionality, like drawing a box outline around the
title when the mouse is moved over it or something.

Another idea would be to make editing of the title completely
'inline': Just draw the title as an invisible QLineEdit (that is,
transparent frame and background - is that actually possible?) instead
of a QLabel... No need for an extra click then! People will notice the
editing functionality because the mouse will change into a
text-editing-cursor when moved over the title. Or would that be too
unusual/confusing?
