Hi Eduard,
dear xterm maintainers,

I've recently adopted xtermset and therefore I'd tried to reproduce
and triage this reported bug. After all I come to conclusion that the
bug is not caused by xtermset. IMHO: Its a bug in xterm. I came to that
conclusion after testing to set the title without xtermset, with the
appropriate control sequence:

]2;Bär^G

It does not work either. So my assumption was that xterm is not able to
handle umlauts in control sequences. That assumption proved to be right,
because xtermset (and the print-it-yourself variant) works fine in
gnome-terminal. That it works with xterm -T is probably caused by some
reencoding (see [1]), but I can only speculate.

I therefore reassigned the bug to xterm.
Could you please take care for it?

Thanks Best Regards,

Patrick
