I am able to put math (including Greek letters) in the title of a 
document, but do have some issues.  First, I don't know about F5 (my 
window manager, ion, traps it for other purposes) but typing a `$' works 
fine to enter math mode.  Once I am there, though, the toolbars do not 
change to give me the normal math mode options.  However, if I know the 
command for something (`\gamma', for instance) I can type that and it 
will work.  Also, some shortcuts (like `^' for superscript) do not work 
and I need to type its command as well (`\rsup').

Alternately (as Javier mentioned), one can start a fresh paragraph below 
the title, type the math in a separate environment, then copy it from 
there to the desired place in the title (as I did in the attached file).

Sorry, what is the desired behaviour of the hyper modifier?  I gather 
that you wish to press the key combination Menu+F5 (where you have bound 
Hyper_L to the Menu key) and have it do something besides put you in 
math mode.  Is that right?  I'm no expert in modifiers, but it would 
help if your goal was a little clearer.

Last I heard, it was because the latest (built-in) tutorial was lagging 
significantly behind the current application's behaviour.  Try the 
following URLs for a more up-to-date introduction to the software,
