Description Daniel Qarras 2006-03-21 16:34:10 UTC

Description of problem:
XTerm title in FC5 shows the current working directory. This works ok with ASCII
characters. But when starting XTerm under GNOME in FC5 and going to a directory
that names has non-ascii characters, the title is garbage (escape sequences).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xterm-209-4

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start XTerm
2. Create directory named Ã¼Ã¶
3. Enter the directory
  
Actual results:
Escape sequences are shown in the XTerm title instead of the actual characters.

Expected results:
The proper characters should be shown in the XTerm title.

Additional info:
gnome-terminal works all ok. Using bash as shell. Fresh installation with
default values.

Comment 1 Jason Vas Dias 2006-03-21 22:51:02 UTC

Yes, xterm-211 now has the 'UTF-8 Titles' menu item and the 'utf8Title' vt100 X
resource to enable display of UTF-8 titles (no previous xterm version did this).
Since we ship with UTF-8 enabled locales by default, I guess this resource
should be set by default in the Red Hat distributions.
I've submitted xterm-211 with the VT100*ut8Title resource enabled by default
to FC-5 Updates/Testing .
