The implementation uses the all too familiar approach of sticking one's head in the sand and hoping that all encoding issues will just sort themselves out. This is the reality of things: 1. Unix server Uses whatever encoding the parameters are in when invoking Xvnc or vncconfig. Since most Linux distributions these days use UTF-8, so the desktop name will in turn mostly be UTF-8. 2. Windows server Uses the ACP (Active Code Page). Can really be a lot of things, though most often cp1252 (almost 8859-1) in the west. 3. Unix client Passes the string unmodified to XSetName(). Looking at the xlib reference documentation, this uses "Host Portable Character Encoding" which in turn uses a lot of weasel wording and doesn't really define that much at all. Looking at the ICCCM though and how xlib implementations behave in practice, this encoding is 8859-1. IOW, the Unix client assumes the name is in 8859-1. 4. Window client Like the Windows server, it assumes that things are in ACP. So to summarise, the only part that has some idea of what encoding it wants is the Unix client. Everything else is basically random and dependent on the system settings. ASCII should be fairly safe to use, but I'm not 100% sure of even that. Given that most of the systems (except for the Unix server) have been using 8859-1 (or cp1252, which is close) in practice, I'd say we define the desktop name to be 8859-1 and nothing else.

Re: [rfbproto] [PATCH] Describe the DesktopName pseudo-encoding
Just for fun, I had a quick look at the clipboard handling. The situation is better there with the Unix side handling things correctly. Windows however is broken and assumes that the local system uses a superset of 8859-1.
