There is still one open issue for 2.4.6 it is the compound text
patch. I recall the problem:
If the locale gives a charset != ISO-8859-1 (or a subset of this
charset) and if the title of an application with i18n support
has non ASCII characters then the application gives a COMPOUND_TEXT
WM_NAME hints (same for the icon title).
So if fvwm is compiled without multibyte support the window title
contains string(s) of the form ?*ISO8859-15?* as the WM_NAME is
taken as a STRING.
Notes: - ISO-8859-1 is now obsolete in the all Europe
- It seems that it is not easy to filter a COMPOUND_TEXT string
by hands
- We've get at least 3 bugs report on this from the bug tracking
system
So I would like to apply the patch that fix this. I've not
yet applied this patch to 2.4.6 (it is applied to 2.5.x:
COMPOUND_TEXT, on by default) because we do not take a decision
about the default. I think that this patch should be on by default
but Dan was not very happy with this. I've got one positive
feedback from Dmitry Yu. Bolkhovityanov which test the patch
with koi8-r and I test it with ISO8859-15.
So I need one more advice from an fvwm workers.
