[support] page titles for views?

[sander-martijn]

Does anyone know a way to customize the page title (in the title tag) 
for a view?  I asked about this for pages earlier and Bill suggested
the page title module which works great - but there are two top level 
pages that are views that I need to customize the titles for and the 
page title module doesn't work with views.  Since it's only two pages 
and the title isn't likely to change or at least not often I'm even 
willing to hard code it into template.php. what i tried so far is to add 
the following function to _phptemplate_variables:

if($vars['node']->nid == '12'){
  $vars['head_title'] = "TEST";
}


I verified (through print statements) that the statement gets triggered 
on the proper page and that $vars['head_title'] is printing the current 
title.  Furthermore a similar function is how the page title module does 
it.  Yet when I print out the variable immediately after the function it 
still stays what it was.  Full with print statements and output:

print($vars['head_title']); // prints: Photo Gallery | Timberpeg
if($vars['node']->nid == '12'){
  print(" changing to test "); // prints: changing to test - indicates 
it gets triggered
  $vars['head_title'] = "TEST";
}
print($vars['head_title']); // prints: Photo Gallery | Timberpeg
