Hello, all!

I have (probably, a misconfiguration) problem with WM 0.91-0.92.

If a client window wants to set a title that contains Cyrillic
characters, the title is rendered properly only if the client sets
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING).

If the client sets only WM_NAME(COMPOUND_TEXT) (same as
WM_NAME(STRING), but is not bound to contain ASCII characters only),
only the first ASCII part of the title is rendered, e. g.: for a title
'foo<Cyrillic chars>bar', only 'foo' will be displayed (I tried with
xterm -T <title>).

Since titles specified by _NET_WM_NAME are shown, this is not a locale
or font problem. The problem can be reproduced with either
en_US.KOI8-R or ru_RU.KOI8-R locale.

Here's a fragment of my ~/GNUStep/Defaults/WindowMaker file:

WindowTitleFont = "Arial:slant=0:weight=200:width=100:pixelsize=12";
AntialiasedText = YES;

The problem persists if I set WindowTitleFont to
'-monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-p-*-koi8-r' (the same
font, just an alternative notation) or any other font capable of
displaying Cyrillic glyphs.

Thanks in advance.
