Hi,  
I’m a new glfw user and I don’t understand why the window title doesn’t change  
because I call glfwSetWindowTitle(). It doesnt seem to work. It’s kinda  
weird  
Anyway if someone wanna help that would be appreciated.  
thanks

Depending on the OS, you may need to process events before the new window  
title appears.
