Well, st once couldn't handle "umlauts" (as in, all utf-8) in title,
which was very frustrating to use with... well, any window manager (I
managed to configure dwm for itf-8 without using xft), and easy enough
to fix. I get to use utf-8 quite often.
I am ambivalent about not setting WM_NAME at all. This is a standard
thing to set. This is a thing on which DWM can match windows, if I'm
not mixing anything up.
