Hi fvwm developers, Here is the bug info sun has returned to me inregards to the multi-byte chars appearing in the title string. Vote for it on sun web page once it shows up. Maybe they'll fix it.

The window title begins with 'Esc'(B then the title string. This can be seen most easily on the FVWM window manager compiled without multi-byte support. If $LANG and $LC_CTYPE are set to en_US.ISO8859-1 or just about any other language, then multi-byte chars are sent to the title bar of a window. 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 it's 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. Here is the code to reproduce: import javax.swing.*; public class WindowTest { static void main (String[] args) { JFrame win = new JFrame ("This is the window Title"); //win.setTitle ("Window Title 2"); win.getContentPane().add (new JLabel ("Test the JWindow")); win.setSize (200, 200); win.pack(); win.show (); } } Here is a url to image of the window created: http://www.employees.org/~keiths/WindowTest.gif I am running on Solaris 8 with FVWM 2.4.0. I've tested this in both 1.3.1 and Java 1.4-beta. workaround : suggested_val : cust_name : Keith Spainhour cust_email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] jdcid : spainhou keyword : webbug company : Cisco Systems hardware : sun4 OSversion : sol2.8 bugtraqID : 0 dateCreated : 2001-07-19 08:07:01.9 dateEvaluated : 2001-07-19 11:03:08.25
