The problem is simple: the title bar is sized based on the maximum size
of text that might appear there. With utf-8, this maximum size is
significantly larger because many more chars can be displayed there, and
many more fonts might be used to display those chars.
I use a local patch which changes ctwm so as not to use the "maximum
potential height" of chars, but instead the "average height of displayed
chars". I guess I should clean it up and post it here.
