I notice a change in xprop if I run:

xdotool search --name "André Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer" set_window --name "André Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer"

First, after renaming it (to exactly the same name xprop gives), the name shows just fine on dwmstatus (and also on wmctrl -l),

Second, xprop change from
WM_NAME(STRING) = "André Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer"
to
WM_NAME(STRING) = "André Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer"
and also a new attibute seems to be added:
_NET_WM_NAME(STRING) = "Andr\303\251 Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer"
