Agree 100%. Folks, if you want unicode support, develop a sane,
working implementation. I've never seen one that matches both "sane"
and "working."

Here's a patch to make DWM work fine on a two-monitor side-by-side setup:

+++ dwm.c 2009-02-25 18:54:17.000000000 -0600

...that's from dwm 5.4.1, using xrandr --output DVI-0 --right-of
DVI-1. Problem solved.
