i checked out the man page and XStringStyle is acceptable. also st uses XmbTextListToTextProperty rather than Xutf8TextListToTextProperty which suggests a macro check. > Well, st once couldn't handle "umlauts" (as in, all utf-8) in title, > which was very frustrating to use with... well, any window manager (I > managed to configure dwm for itf-8 without using xft), and easy enough > to fix. I get to use utf-8 quite often. Ok, so it sounds pretty usefull to set the title as UTF8_STRING then :) > I am ambivalent about not setting WM_NAME at all. This is a standard > thing to set.

I leave the discussion of whether it should be utf8 or XA_String to the list. I don't have strong feelings about it either way, and dwm prefers _NET_WM_NAME anyway, like i suspect most other window managers will. --Carlos
