    Use UTF8_STRING instead of COMPOUND_TEXT
    
    Using XCompoundTextStyle makes gnome-shell issue countless warnings in
    the message log when switching between tabs or selecting text:
    
    gnome-shell[5357]: Window manager warning: Window 0x800003 has property
    _NET_WM_NAME that was expected to have type UTF8_STRING format 8 and
    actually has type COMPOUND_TEXT format 8 n_items 0. This is most likely
    an application bug, not a window manager bug. The window has
    title="0:2:vim - "hostname" " class="tabbed" name="tabbed"
