Are you sure that this is a wmii-related problem, and not due to your terminal 
or shell profile? Do you see a title in other window managers? What does `wmiir 
read /client/sel/label` say? What does the following do?

  printf '\033];Foo title\007'; sleep 10

$ wmiir read /client/sel/label

ok just tested in gnome session: the title bars are showing a title indeed.  
note, i've tested both gnome-terminal and xterm.

thanks and best regards -botp

btw, title bar applies to all window bars, ie all window title are blank. eg 
running a browser or document still returns blank title bars. the bar is there 
but nothing, just a square at left hand side..

Hi Kris,

i tried and compared the ff against my wmii on ubuntu 8.04 hh.

> What does `wmiir read /client/sel/label` say?

$ wmiir read /client/sel/label
botp@jedi2: ~botp@jedi2:~

same. it says. btw the line after the command is my prompt. 

What does the following do? >  printf '\033];Foo title\007'; sleep 10

hardy displays the text "Foo title" for 10 sec

this differs with my 10.04 LL wc displays nothing.

hope i can help you help me.

thanks and best regards -botp

@botp does this issue still occur with Ubuntu 10.10 and wmii-hg?

No version information or response from reporter.

i did a pristine install of 10.04 and 10.10 and got same results.  no title bar.

i also just installed 10.04 on a lenovo notebook and got same result:
empty titles on window. Also the tab key is not functioning well on
the menu. If i press tab, it just selects the first option and does
not move further on the other choices.

nonetheless, i luv wmii. it was one of the reasons why i would not
move to ubuntu to 10.04...

thank you and kind regards -botp

What locale are you running under?

What font are you using for wmii?

Do dmenu and wimenu draw text correctly?  (Try `ls | dmenu` and `ls | wimenu` 
in a shell.)

I just tried with an 11.04 chroot and titlebars work fine in 
xterm and urxvt, tab works fine in wimenu. It's possible that 
your font is invalid and wmii is unable to find a fallback on 
your system, though in that case wmii should abort.

i get the ff
1 for dmenu: a warning - no locale support
2 for wimenu: wimenu -command not found

hmmm..

Not interested in dmenu.

> 2 for wimenu: wimenu -command not found

Oh? What ancient version of wmii are you using?

arggh, my bad. i thought 10.04 was using latest wmii. i upgraded wmii
using your ppa repository and sure enough the command went fine. Even
the tabs are now working as expected.

unfortunately, the title bars are still empty, even the stack number
indicators at the right side still do not show up. btw the box
character at the right side does show up. i can send you a screenshot
if you want.

thank you for the support, maglione.
best regards -botp

hi magleone,

i think we fix the blank title issue.  I set all default locale
settings to "en_PH.UTF-8".
in other words,

botp@nb:~$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG=en_PH.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_PH:en
LC_CTYPE="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_PH.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

logoff/logon, and voila.  don't know why it works though. i guessed it
was safe to assume that one be consistent with the default locale.

i have minor quirk though, the title bar for the terminal shows
"Terminal".  I'd like to add/append my prompt in the text so that it
should read something like "Terminal:botp@nb:~$".  other than that,
everything works perfect now.

thank you for the support
best regards -botp

Alright, problem was indeed a locale issue.  Closing.

P.S. botp, you can run `locale` in a terminal window.

Original comment by sunaku on 22 Sep 2011 at 5:57

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
indeed. my default install of ubuntu10.04 only contains the ff on the
locale default file.

LANG=en_PH.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_PH:en

so it made me wonder, any process is free to choose any locale setting
for other attributes/categories, like  LC_CTYPE eg. Forcing all
categories have a default value solves the problem in my case.

many thanks for the help/hints/tips, magleone. and thanks for wmii too.
and sorry for the noises too.

best regards -botp
