Check out the GNOME panel - it does exactly that. The
effect is sort of weird anyways, since it isn't clear
until the mouse goes over it that it is a title.
Perhaps the text should be in italic or something...

(I'm not sure exactly what technique it is taking to
 achieve the non-selectability, but probably it is 
 intercepting enter/leave events.)
