i've just loaded my famous project (i had to create some link to old files) 
and tested the titles thing... well, it's working without any problem! no need 
to follow your steps, no need to resave the project, to wait for thumbnails to 
be created... nothing! it's just working as it is in 0.7!
the only difference between the old project and the new one derived from it is 
that in the old one text thumbnails (in the timeline, not in the tree) are 
green (?), but in the new one they're ok... but if you:
1. load old file
2. save to new file
3. restart kdenlive
4. load new file
5. close new file and load old one
-> thumbnails are black
but this is really not a problem
