Is the xterm itself running in a UTF-8 locale?

Actually, most of the problems that the patch tries to solve can be
solved by running Sawfish in a UTF-8 locale.  It won't read
_NET_WM_NAME or _NET_WM_ICON_NAME but it will handle anything
representable as COMPOUND_TEXT, which appears to be a lot.

If you manage to create a clone with identical commits to mine (I
think I just used git-svn clone -s), we might be able to exchange
patches by pulling, although that is apparently more difficult with
git-svn than with pure Git repositories (the git-svn man page
recommends mailing patches instead).
