   1. is $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor should be customizable at runtime #298 and fixed in MegaPatch that includes all of #717, plus RawUI fixes #730 is slightly different
   2. is still an issue is now fixed
   3. is due to Linux; there is no way to retrieve the current window title

   For Linux, CoreFx assigns -1 as default value for BackgroundColor and ForegroundColor. There's nothing we can do about that.

   But #730 fixed a problem where ForegroundColor always got overridden by PowerShell, so user preference should now stick.

   As for #3, Linux does not capability to retrieve Window Title. I've written a workaround so that if one sets the title from within PowerShell, I will display a cached copy of the title if one tries to display the value. This works fine as long as one doesn't change the title external to PowerShell.
