I already had looked into fixing this yesterday. It really isn't too hard, for what Andreas wants we could just convert the string to Latin1, which window manages need to support, instead of using lossyCString. But I would prefer an UTF8 solution, which need a bit more thinking and currently the weather is so bright over here.
