I tried XmbTextEscapement and also XmbDrawString in move_resize.c but
no luck. I am not sure how multibyte has some effect here. Window
position and size information are always alpha-numeric. But when I
recompiled without multibyte option, the feedback shows correctly...
As far as multibyte concerns, it works in popup menu but not in title.
