Eli, Timo, everyone: I am a longtime happy Sawfish user, but I have a problem that I think is related to Eli's. I am using CVS Sawfish on Fedora Core 5 x86_64, Athlon X2 processor in particular.

I've read Timo's replies, and I understand that the apps might be doing something wrong, but my symptom is this: Sometimes, when an app sets a window title with 'international characters', the title displayed by Sawfish is truncated, and Sawfish hangs -- I have to switch to the text console and kill and restart Sawfish to get back to work. After I restart Sawfish, the title is displayed correctly. It seems that the title-setting event is failing but the getting-the-title process that runs at startup works fine. Does anyone have a fix for that?? I'm running sawfish under gdb right now and will provide more info and perhaps a fix!
