I submitted another "simpler patch" that doesn't revert the setting of
WM_NAME to XStringStyle. Since i don't really have a use case for
UTF8.

The simpler patch only adds _NET_WM_NAME, and as
UTF8_STRING for consistency. which wmctrl works with. (not that this
fix is solely driven by wmctrl. i wouldn't want it to, i just happend
to test this on an old st and noticed the difference).

i didn't think about that to be honest, but i did think about the flame
possibly ignited by breaking the peoples st title when they use utf8...

As a side tabbed uses XCompoundTextStyle.
