jd: Instead I thought about digging into other WMs.
i3: Seems to just ignore the encoding and hope for the best.
fluxbox: Only uses WM_NAME (XGetWMName), but at least this then does some magic
on that string if the property's type isn't STRING.
First it sends the string through XmbTextPropertyToTextList() and then the result of that
goes through some magic. I think that magic boils down to iconv_open("UTF-8",
nl_langinfo(CODESET)), but thanks to various abstraction layers, I'm not sure. If
XmbTextPropertyToTextList() fails, it assumes latin-1 and sends the string through iconv,
too.
Various bits of magic in src/FbTk/FbString.cc. The WM_NAME query is done in
src/Xutil.cc, function Xutil::getWMName().
Now let's look at draw.c, draw_iso2utf8(). Awesome does the same thing that
fluxbox does, but skips XmbTextPropertyToTextList(). Also, awesome is trying to
guess whether it has to run stuff through iconv and it also does so for strings
which already are in unicode. Bad.
