# The Problem:
dwm status bar fails to display the name of Libreoffice and OpenOffice windows
# Conditions (when it happens):
1) Debian 12 (previous Debian worked fine)
2) The file name must contain a latin character (one of these:
áâãéíóôúç) and NOT contain other glyphs characters (for example Japanese 你)
# Examples:
name of the file name displayed on dwm status
"André Desgualdo.odt" -> "Andr Desgualdo.odt - OpenOffice
Writer" (wrong, it miss the é)
"Andre Desgualdo.odt" -> "Andre Desgualdo.odt - OpenOffice
Writer" (right)
"你 André Desgualdo.odt" -> "你 André Desgualdo.odt - OpenOffice
Writer" (right)
"André Desgualdo 你.odt" -> "André Desgualdo 你.odt - OpenOffice
Writer" (right)
# xprop
xprop shows the correct name, but it doesn't has the _NET_WM_NAME defined as it
used to have on Debian 11 and before (I guess it is because missing library
tkinter for python2.7).
Example: WM_NAME(STRING) = "André Desgualdo.odt - OpenOffice Writer"
# xwininfo
But xwininfo also fails to show the name properly.
Example: xwininfo: Window id: 0xe031bd "Andr Desgualdo.odt - OpenOffice Writer"
# Other window managers
Other window managers show the window's name correctly. Tested: xfce4wm and
i3wm.
# Other programs that are not Libreoffice or OpenOffice
When opening the same file with other program (for example opening "André
Desgualdo.odt" with file-roller), the name is displayed correctly and xprop
shows the following info: _NET_WM_NAME(STRING) = "Andr\303\251 Desgualdo.odt -
OpenOffice").
# Workaround
Any suggestion to further investigate or possible workarounds or fix would be
really appreciated.
(Currently I made a script to use xdotool to rename the window as soon as it is
opened by OpenOffice).
