Garbage Characters in CDE Window Title Bar

I recently patched our Solaris 8 Sun workstations (a mixture of Blade 150, Ultra10, Blade 1500, and Blade 2000) with the recommended patch cluster from December 19th, 2005. At the same time, I updated the systems' Java to 1.4.2_10, and installed Update 5 to StarOffice7, which is still on the systems along with the newer StarOffice8.
When initially installed before these recent patches, StarOffice8 behaved correctly. After updating the systems, when I open StarOffice8 in a CDE session, I get garbage characters in the title bar of the window. The letters and fonts in the application menus are normal. StarOffice8 windows under Gnome sessions are titled correctly.
I've read some emails about issues with LC_CTYPE and setting it to en_US.ISO8859-15, using a wrapper script to start soffice. The current setting on my machines is en_US.ISO8859-1. That solution doesn't work consistently on different machines (or even on the same machine).
In fact, even without attempting to solve the problem, there is inconsistent behavior. On one Ultra10 which I have as a testbed machine, StarOffice8 behaves correctly, whether I'm logged in as a normal user, or as root. On a Blade 1500, it behaves correctly when logged in as root, but not as a normal user. I've also patched StarOffice8 with Update1 which was released today, but it doesn't fix the problem.
Anybody else having similar problems after recent patching? Or have any suggestions for a solution?

More Info on Unsolved Problem:
If I use Mozilla to open a document file, with soffice set as the helper application, the CDE window title displays properly. If I leave that instance of StarOffice open, and open new documents using the menus within StarOffice, subsequent CDE titles also display normally. Also with that original Mozilla-driven StarOffice application still open, if I use "soffice whatever.doc" on a command line, those CDE windows appear normal.
Mozilla is set to use "en_US" as the language for webpages, with Western ISO-8859-1 as the default character coding. The Solaris 8 workstation's /etc/default/init file is configured as:
TZ=US/Eastern
CMASK=022
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=C
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1
While the Mozilla "wrapper" is a workaround for now, I don't see it as a final solution.

  • How to get User Id in every window title bar at runtime

    Hi people
    How can i get Userid in the window title bar at runtime
    prasanth a.s.

    If running on the web you can use webutil or SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY (title). You can use GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(usename) as well.

  • Firefox 5.0 on Windows 7 jumpy, window title bar pops in and out, window resizes.

    Question pretty much sums it up. Windows Title bar keeps flitting in and out, causing screen to jump. Concurrently, right and bottom window margins resize a bit smaller. No apparent rhyme or reason, but leads to a lot of bad mouse clicks. Unrelated to whether the bookmarks tab is open or not. Happens in safemode as well, and my theme is the default. I don't want a plug-in to fix this, I want Firefox 5.0 to behave properly on its own.

    The Views menu is only meant to view bookmarks in a different sort order (hence the name of that menu). It doesn't have any lasting effects.

  • How to forbid window title bar to be draged?

    If a top level vi has the window title bar,how to forbid user to drag the title bar to change window's position?
    P.S. vi's property "Allow user to resize window" has been forbidden.
    LabVIEW 8.6

    Unfortunately, the LabVIEW event structure does not provide an event like "Panel Move" or a similiar stuff.
    I think, you have two different options:
    a) Either use the event structure -> timeout case to set (if necessary) every Xms with the invoke method "Front Panel.Runtime Position.Custom" the position of the VI.
    b) Probably you find an appropriate function in the attached zip file

    That's unfortunate it was removed in Java 5. We use Web Start for headless applications (no GUI windows) and so at times would have multiple instances running on the same machine each using a different JNLP. Previously, we could see which instance was which by the console displaying the description tag information on the console's title bar. This was a great feature of JWS that now appears to be less functional. Sun, is there a way to get this back if you are listening?
    The s: command doesn't display the JNLP description tags which we helped to identify the application. We want to use Windows task manager to see a list of all applications and from this list end any JWS process easily from the window. Without the title on the console window, there is no way to uniquely identify a particular application.
    Regardless, our frustration in using JWS has increased with this new introduced limitation.

    Hi all,
    Does anybody know how to set the window title bar like the one
    used by window.MessageDialog e.g. without the small icon image at the

    small icon image is not displayed but the title bar font is twice
    smaller (???).

  • Firefox 4 beta 1/2 dont have the window title bar

    If i choose to hide the menu bar, I can see the orange "firefox" button but there is no windows title bar that has the min, max, and X buttons. Like this title bar is cleanly chopped off.
    However running firefox as admin doesn't have this issue.

    Every time Firefox opened

  • Firefox hangs when starting, Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". (was: Firefox crashes)

    Firefox hangs when starting, during session restore. Uninstalled then installed new Firefix. Same problem. Firefox window title bar says "Firefox (not responding)". It just hangs, won;t display even one page. What to do? Tried -safe-mode, smae result.

    I keep too many tabs open and whilst trying to download a pdf file Firefox 8.01 hung and when I restarted it the Embarrassing page opened. I knew which tab I needed to delete but as soon as I tried to navigate to the errant tab it said "Not Responding" and nothing I could do would make it respond. I tried command line opening in safe mode and the same thing happened.
    I have read the other posts but cannot send a crash dump as it is "Not Responding" and does not get far enough to crash.

  • No option to change Window Title Bar Font in gnome-tweak-tool

    Hey there,
    did a fresh install today on a Haswell-PC. But there's no option to change Window Title Bar Font in gnome-tweak-tool anymore? All the other options are there.
    Is there a way to set the Window Title Bar Font elsewhere? Does someone know why this option was removed or is it due to my system somehow? I also don't see this option in the dconf-editor.

  • Programmatic Windows Title Bar

    Hello,
    I would like to Programmatically change the display of the windows title bar of my application so that it reads the name of the file I currently have open inside of it. I can not find any documentation for dynamic changes, only static ones using the VI properties window. I know this completely possible because I have used LV programs in the past that do this. Is there a vi property that I am missing or something?
    Thanks,
    Glen D

    Here's a vi that shows one way of doing it.

  • Windows title bar control

    I need to monitor and/or control the Windows title bar boxes (specifically,
    the "Close" box), to reduce operator error. Some application operators refuse
    to use the programmed LV switches and controls in preference of the standard
    Windows buttons. How do you programmatically access these Windows functions?

    Right click on the VI icon and select VI setup. Go to Window Options and uncheck
    the Allow User to Close Window, Show Menu Bar, and Show Toolbar boxes.
