Just upgraded to pkg 1.1.1.

>Description:

pkg(8) now changes both the window title (which is bad enough as it
is) and the window's icon title (which is obnoxious), and does not
restore it to the previous value when done.  (In fact, I don't believe
restoring is even possible).  It should only do so when the user
explicitly enables this behavior.

>How-To-Repeat:

pkg upgrade -y
pkg upgrade -y

>Fix:

Workaround: always open a fresh xterm to run "pkg upgrade" and close
it when done.  Not really an option when accessing a system remotely
through a serial console server or LOM card.
