Description of Problem: After a default installation, most applications do not show the window title in the title bar. Applications that are missing titles include Mozilla and Nautilus file windows. For whatever reason, gnome-terminal has a window title. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sawfish-1.0.1-7 How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Performed default installation of the beta, selecting Workstation install with GNOME and KDE, selecting GNOME as the default. 2. Booted the system 3. Logged in as the user account I created during installation Actual Results: Most windows are missing their window titles. Expected Results: The window titles should be present. Additional Information:
What is your locale? ("echo $LANG", "cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n") Does downgrading Sawfish to 7.2 version fix this?

I think the problem is the locale then - can you try changing that locale to "en_US.ISO8859-1" (note hyphen and caps), or just choosing a different language from the gdm menu before you log in. If that's the issue then this is an anaconda bug, since it wrote the bad locale. If it's the locale you should also have a bunch of errors in ~/.xsession-errors about "locale not supported by Xlib" or the like.
Hmm, I'm told we fixed the locale issue by changing X to recognize iso885915 as a valid locale - so maybe an X upgrade is required. Don't know if the fixed X is in rawhide yet.
On the gdm login screen, I selected Language->American English, which presented me with the rather confusingly-worded dialog: "You have selected American English as your language, but American English is your default language. Would you like to make American English the default?" At any rate, this made it so that LANG is set to en_US.ISO-8859-1, and the window titles appear properly. I don't recall selecting anything out of the ordinary as far as language during the installation. I did select 104-key keyboard, would that have something to do with it?
No the problem isn't your fault, it's just that the installer wrote out a locale that X did not understand. So Sawfish couldn't load fonts correctly. Problem has been fixed by making X understand said locale, in latest X version.
