Subject: [PATCH] Use UTF8_STRING instead of COMPOUND_TEXT

Using XCompoundTextStyle makes gnome-shell issue countless warnings in
the message log when switching between tabs or selecting text:

gnome-shell[5357]: Window manager warning: Window 0x800003 has property
_NET_WM_NAME that was expected to have type UTF8_STRING format 8 and
actually has type COMPOUND_TEXT format 8 n_items 0. This is most likely
an application bug, not a window manager bug. The window has
title="0:2:vim - "hostname" " class="tabbed" name="tabbed"
