I've done some more testing.
I'm using Solaris 8.
I used "xprop" to look at the property WM_NAME which is where the title
comes from.
Without LANG set, Java sets WM_NAME like this:
WM_NAME(COMPOUND_TEXT) = 0x54, 0x68, 0x69, 0x73, ...
With LANG set, Java sets WM_NAME like this:
WM_NAME(COMPOUND_TEXT) = 0x1b, 0x28, 0x42, 0x54, ...
The 0x54 is the first character of the windows title, an uppercase T.
So with LANG set, the characters "0x1b, 0x28, 0x42," ("Esc ( B") are
added to the window title.
If Fvwm is compiled with multibyte support, that string is passed thru
XmbTextPropertyToTextList() which removes the "Esc ( B" prefix.
I think this should be persued with Sun. So far I see 2 issues:
I don't see why fvwm should need to support Multibyte characters when
the language is explicitly set to en_US, or fr_CA, neither of these
languages are multibyte.
I don't think its correct for Java to be setting the text property to
COMPOUND_TEXT when LANG isn't set. Normally the property on a title
would be STRING.
