As mentioned by Torsten, the name returned by get_name is encoded in utf8 or in x11-compound-text. This does not depend on locale. Although I don't know which context may lead get_name to return x11-compound- text. I can only guess that depends on the window manager. Anyway, I'd rather not leave the patch as-is in Debian, so I'll create a new nmu (*) package that implements Torsten's suggestion. All the best (*) note to perl-gtk people: "nmu" is Debian jargon, don't worry about it. -- https://github.com/dod38fr/ -o- http://search.cpan.org/~ddumont/ http://ddumont.wordpress.com/ -o- irc: dod at irc.debian.org
