Package: fvwm
Followup-For: Bug #726530

For those whose crashes are only triggered by Firefox, there is
another (admittedly down-to-earth) workaround. Although it's
application-specific, it has the advantage that fvwm doesn't crash,
and thus there are no window placement errors after restarting fvwm
using the "while true; do fvwm; done" method:

  https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/customize-titlebar/

Install addon, click its preferences button in about:addons, select
"Custom Format" and enter e.g. "Iceweasel: {currentUrl}" or even just
something static (without umlauts or the likes).

No real solutioni to the underlying UTF8 conversion problem, but:
No crashes in weeks. :-)

P.S.: I answered the question "Does this bug still exist in version
1:2.6.5.ds-4 of this package? [y|N|q|?]?" with "N" for "I don't know",
because I haven't tried to reproduce it (which in my case is very
time-consuming, as it doesn't happen too often).
