Problem is Xft crashing on huge strings
There might still be a problem with Xft and long strings, but the length of the loong string is much longer, and I couldn't crash metacity by setting enormous titles with gtk_window_set_title(), which is what Mozilla uses. Moving off target, since it is basically an item for upstream.
Actually, the problem with much longer strings never actually existed for metacity. Pango never feeds Xft more than 1024 glyphs at a time. I've filed it as: http://www.fontconfig.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=108 however, just so that the issue doesn't get forgotten.
