When you're creating a symbol, you need to delete the title block before
you "symbol translate" and save.

See the recent geda-user thread: "Removing default title box".


(Ok guys, I can grant that "New->Symbol" might be a case where we don't
want to include a title block).

At the risk of taking this thread off-topic, what about this..
"/usr/share/gEDA/default_page.sch" (and the various local overrides).

Make gschem File->New load that. It is more discoverable, as we could
include a menu item "Page->Edit Default page" or some such. This is a
step away from a free-selection of templates, but given gschem doesn't
treat title-blocks specially (they are just symbols), template schematic
files are probably the best way to implement this.

Best regards.
