Page whose titles contain special characters like "ü" (ü in HTML code) are
shown as garbage in the window title bar.
The same problem occurs with chars like "ä", "ö" ... (still in the window title
bar).

I don't believe this is a duplicate of bug 2426. Bug 2426 has to do with titles
that use encodings not supported by the window manager. For example, a Cyrillic
page title can't be displayed in Windows because the OS doesn't know how to
display the characters in a title bar. This bug is more generic; it has to do
with characters that the OS *can* display in a title bar (for example, 'süß').
So, I'm reopening it and clearing the resolution. (That doesn't mean it isn't a
duplicate of another bug, however!)

You need to convert UNICODE to platform specific character set. We have code
that does this kind of translation in mailnews\base\utils\nsMsgI18N.cpp

Long ago, we did some work to get convert Unicode strings to be passed into
native Mac menu widgets. See bug 5402. The code for this might be similar
to what we need for native Mac window titles. The fix for bug 5402 is here:
