Xpra: Ticket #526: unicode window titles do not work on XP
GTK requires all window titles to be sent as UTF-8
, which we now do explicitly (see r5694), but even with the patch attached which uses user32.SetWindowTextW
on the window handle to bypass GTK and set the window title using UTF-16
, we still get gibberish in the title bar...
The patch also checks and the window does support unicode (isWindowUnicode()==1
).
This can be tested with tests.xpra.test_apps.test_window_title

- summary
changed from unicode window titles do not work on win32 to unicode window titles do not work on XP
Turns out that this is a limitation of XP, works fine with win7 (see #826).
So I don't think we can fix this.
