I am using xterm under tabbed (v.0.6) and some of the polish characters which are in the directory name are not displayed in the tabs and the rest of the name is truncated, for instance:

/home/seb/żółty is truncated to /home/seb/żó

when I set the Xresource :

*XTerm*utf8Title: True

then the whole name is displayed with all polish characters but only after I change directory to a new location, so the name in tab does not refer to actual directory.

I come back to this problem with the new version of tabbed (0.8) but it is not a problem with tabbed but with xterm behaviour. After many hours of frustrating fiddling in xterm resources I have found that it is enough to set:

XTerm*utf8Title: True
XTerm*sameName: False

the second option make that the xterm title is properly transered to WM_NAME 
property.
