Hi Eduard, dear xterm maintainers, I've recently adopted xtermset and therefore I'd tried to reproduce and triage this reported bug. After all I come to conclusion that the bug is not caused by xtermset. IMHO: Its a bug in xterm. I came to that conclusion after testing to set the title without xtermset, with the appropriate control sequence:
]2;Bär^G It does not work either. So my assumption was that xterm is not able to handle umlauts in control sequences. That assumption proved to be right, because xtermset (and the print-it-yourself variant) works fine in gnome-terminal. That it works with xterm -T is probably caused by some reencoding (see [1]), but I can only speculate. I therefore reassigned the bug to xterm. Could you please take care for it?
