As the title says, a lot of the time, it just adds to user confusion allowing them set a title for their profile.

Instead i propose we have an option on the content type, allowing the title to be a hidden field, which is filled with a admin set string which ideally could also use the token module or have a php mode or at least have a substitution string for their user name (
which could work nicely with http://drupal.org/node/325202).

As it is now the title is not rendered on the content_profile rendering.

How about no option just hide and auto-fill with something like "%USER's %TYPE"

Where %USER is replaced with the username and %TYPE is replaced with the content type label.

1+ - in the latest CVS, the title is still rendered when editing the profile, it would be nice to suppress it.

You can get most of this functionality via Autonodetitle: http://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle

It does just about all of what you describe. Autonodetitle allows you to hide the node title, and integrates with token, which gives a fair amount of flexibility.
