Hi Paul, thanks a lot for your quick and kind reply! :-) > > Try starting up the application and let's see what `xprop WM_NAME` > outputs.

By the way, when I do the same with another browser (Galeon), I see the following: WM_NAME(STRING) = "Debian -- The Universal Operating System" Please note: no strange symbols (the file command says "ASCII text") and STRING rather than COMPOUND_TEXT. And indeed, I don't see any extraneous question mark in the window title, when I use Galeon... > > That symbol is not something fluxbox will generate, and I do think > this bug needs to be assigned back to Midori (since they're the only > one who sets their name) > > Let's see what that output looks like, and if it's just because of a > font that can't handle that exotic char. It really seems that there's an exotic character that isn't correctly displayed, due to a missing gliph in the fonts, perhaps. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
