UnicodeDecodeError

[ghost]

This is what the mod has thrown being idle in the background.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:

Seems like some of my window titles had something non-ASCII, though it worked perfectly in the past.

I did a bit of research and tried window detection code and it worked.

It also may be because of my system having LANG environment variable set to C (I messed up my install a bit) and thus having window titles encoded in ASCII, so I'm fixing it right now and I'll update if it did work.

Update: right, seems like it was the cause. Still, I think we can convert window titles to Unicode to prevent this sort of errors.
