Description Gregory Merchan 2001-12-22 02:51:36 UTC 
In lisp/sawfish/wm/state/wm-spec.jl

        ;; _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES
        (unless (equal last-workspace-names workspace-names)
          (setq last-workspace-names workspace-names)
          (set-x-text-property 'root '_NET_DESKTOP_NAMES
                               (apply vector workspace-names)))

Assuming my rep is correct, this should be:

        ;; _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES
        (unless (equal last-workspace-names workspace-names)
          (setq last-workspace-names workspace-names)
          (set-x-property 'root '_NET_DESKTOP_NAMES
                          (apply vector workspace-names) 'UTF8_STRING 8))

According to:
  http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/x104.html

(Which for some reason shows the atom name at UTF-8_STRING ;
 I don't see the hyphenated from used anywhere.)
Comment 1 John Harper 2002-04-23 06:45:11 UTC 
sorry, your lisp is wrong

(text properties are encoded as the strings concatenated together
separated by NULs, a vector of strings doesn't work)

I changed set-x-text-property to take an optional encoding parameter
and used that..
