Yes. My prompt works OK. If I run it with -u8 or with LC_ALL=C the prompt breaks but the title doesn't break further. > > That's part of what sent me into patch-writing-mode.

The other reasons I started with this were that my firefox's title bar showed ? instead of » for a page I use often and Debian bug #439311, about window titles with chinese chars not showing in the window list menu. My basic reasoning was something along the lines of: These programs are probably setting the title in some charset and sawfish is reading it in some other. BTW, how can I take a look at the raw bytes in a window's properties? That'd help me diagnose things. > > Mmm. Maybe I'll just try again to make my own svn clone.

I think I'll just keep on mailing :) -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28
