Additional Details :
Open multiple browser windows and make each of them display
web pages
with non-Latin-1 strings as their titles. FrameList menu
display
titles of those pages in Compound text encoding. This is
always the
case in Communicator/Navigator up to 4.05. In Mozilla
(19980331),
it''s not consistently the case. For some pages, Frame List
menu
displays the title correctly while for other pages, Frame
List menu
displays the title in Compound text encoding.
ns/cmd/xfe/src/FrameListmenu.cpp
gets the title of the frame using
XFE_Frame->getTitle().(defined in Frame.cpp).
The way it returns the title of the frame is inconsistent.
Sometimes, it
returns it in locale-dependent encoding and othertimes it
returns it
in Compound Text encoding of Xlib. In the former case, a
subsequent call
to convert locale-dependent encoding to Compound String of
Motif leads
to the correct result while in the latter case, it doesn''t.

I think we can fix this by not using XFE_Frame::getTitle() which as you indicate
seems to be flaky.

Instead we can store the title when the back end calls XFE_SetDocTitle() and
used that stored string in the frame.

So that when XFE_FrameListMenu iterates through the frames, it gets what the
backend thinks should be the right thing for the title.  This we know will work,
since titles for documents are not broken in the BE as far as we can tell.
