I have noticed a small problem with window title bars when using
fr_FR.UTF-8 as the locale.
As you can see in the attached pictures, while accented letters are
displayed correctly in the
menu bar, in the main panel, in the status line, in the path line and in
the graphical representation
of the directories, the e with acute accent of "Vidéos" is missing in
the title bar.
This is also happening when the window is iconified.
The output from xwininfo is xwininfo: Window id: 0x2000049 "Gestionnaire
de fichiers - Vidos"
The problem is not limited to dtfile, it also seen with Thunderbird.
However, in that case xwininfo gives: "Rédaction : Window titles with
UTF-8 locales - Thunderbird"
as name of the window.
I suspect that dtwm could be stripping the UTF-8 encoded characters
from window titles or from title bars.
That being said, when using xpdf to display a PDF file with accented
letters in the file name accents are shown correctly in the title bar.
So the problem could be more subtle. Maybe xpdf converts accents to
ISO-8859-1 representation when setting the title, and dtwm does not
strip accented letters in that case.
I think this is a minor issue for West European languages since a few
missing letters in window title are not likely to create confusion. But
with cyrillic or Kanji characters for instance this could be more
problematic.
