I have just added this comment to the system-gschemrc.in file in CVS
HEAD:

; If you don't want a titleblock to be added automatically, then add
the 
; following line to your gschemrc file (without the semicolon):
;   (define default-titleblock "")

I like Peter's suggestion about formatting the comments in the gschemrc
file so a geda-config program would be able to present the user the
options in a nice and simple way. That way there is no need to change
geda-config every time the developers add something to the
system-gschemrc file (something usual, so it's worth to think about
this).

Most of the options are user definable strings, a list of options,
strokes or menu definitions.

However, it would be really difficult to present some of them to the
user in a nice and simple way. See the
default-position-of-text-attributes definition, for example. This
feature is currently disabled by default, but it's not simple. I'll add
some more options to it, so this will become a challenge for you!.
