If I load the URL above (http://www.exler.ru/films/index.htm) in window title I see: "!C1J5:B82-K5 70<5B:8 > 2845>D8;L0E" and more trash. This happens for all windows which have non-latin titles in HTML. My browser is Gecko/20011012 (0.9.5), window manager is RedHat's standard Sawfish.

Please, this bug WAS fixed for Unix/X11 a LONG LONG time ago(see bug 9449 comment 39 and bug 9449 comment 40). Please, close this bug or mark it as a duplicate of bug 150131. The reason it appears that it doesn't work is that your Window manager is not compliant to a new NET_WM standard. See also bug 150131 for details on this issue. Bug 150131 is still open not because this hasn't been fixed but because it has to be documented/release-noted that this had been fixed and that one needs to use to take advantage of the fix using a NET_WM compliant Window manager.
Sorry for spamming. The last clause should read: .... but because it has to be documented/release-noted that this had been fixed and that one needs to use a NET_WM compliant window manager to see this fixed. BTW, my comment was in response to Kazuhiko-san's comment #4.
koike-san: please provide your opinion for the above comment.
