When one uses 
(:title ...some nice title text.... :) directive on pages
this gets replaced in {$Title}. 
To avoid Gallery.Gallery situation:
Add (:title .... :) directive on pages or GroupHeader pages
Eg. http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Qnotes

Would be nice to know how to use this towards search engine benefit, including 
changing the value.
