I just built the WM snapshot 20050409 on an FC3 system and the UTF support
in window titles does work.  Its a little weird for me, because xterm does
not show window titles at all (don't know where that broke), but Eterm
does show the a with two dots over it.

Eterm  -T `echo -e "b\xC3\xA4h"`

How do you type that symbol ? I can cut and paste that character out of
Dan's post, but don't know how to type it in the Thunderbird email
program.  Is this a program-level thing or an OS level thing?

The new version runs smoothly, as far as I can tell, except WPrefs can't
find its icons.  My prefix is /usr/local/wm (Yes, I keep WM segregated),
and I wonder if that is not the cause.  I put the WPrefs tiff directories
into the WPref Pixmap and Icon paths, but still WPrefs does not find them.
