Window title issue

[Dominic Duvarney]

A co-worker asked me to post this:

Anyone know how to control the banner at the top of my layout window?
It used to say "Virtuoso: Editing/Reading libName cellName viewName"
Now it just says "Virtuoso". Not sure how I messed it up. Im using FVWM
version 2.4.19. Though fvwm is not officially supported, Ive been using
it for a long time without any trouble.

I can set the banner using hiSetWindowName(getCurrentWindow() string),
but I want the default behavior back that updated any time you open or
descend into a cell.

I'm wondering whether this is a window manager bug where it doesn't know the
(R) symbol (the registered symbol - a small R in a circle), and it's giving up
with the rest of the window name.

I vaguely recall seeing this (I was using fvwm2 a lot until recently) - perhaps
it's a font issue?

I doubt very much whether there's some SKILL code setting the window name
to just Virtuoso, so this seems the most likely explanation.

Regards,

Andrew.

This is an issue with window managers that do not support ISO-8859-1
charset for the title. ICCCM spec says they should(an old spec that
should be scrapped). I know WindowMaker supports only UTF-8. Some older
ones probably do only ASCII.

I haven't figured out the use of that Ž yet. Perhaps Cadence is
somewhat uncertain that we know about Virtuoso being a registered
trademark!

Yep. They are a bit uncertained we could not notice from the invoice,
that we can not by it from someone else. Not with the same name.

Andrew,

I have seen this window title look ridiculous because of the locale
setting in CDE/motif. That affects font paths. Why not make that a PCR
to remove all non-7bit ascii from the title ?

It's a window manager problem.

Use 'fvwm2' instead, if it's available.
