qubes bug: UTF-8 in terminal in AppVM

[Nagaev Boris]

Hello,

Russian letters were shown as "?" in terminals in AppVMs by default.
Dom0 worked well. Problem was with default encoding latin1 in
"Terminal -> Set Character Encoding". To change this in persist
manner, I created in template VM file /etc/locale.conf with
"en_US.UTF-8" in it. Default terminal encoding became UTF-8, but
Russian letters in titles of windows are now rendered as "_".

See "allow_utf8_titles" option.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

I enabled "allow_utf8_titles". Now titles with Russian letters can not
be set. When I change to firefox tab with Russian letters, title of
previous tab (English-only) remains.

Did you restarted that VM after changing the configuration? If yes and it's
still not working, check guid log (accessible from Qubes Manager VM context menu).

When I switch to tab with Russian letters, the following 3 lines are
appended to guid log:

Great, but HOW?
