arbtt: window titles not captured (x/kubuntu 11.10 reps / cabal 0.6.1-2 / X11-1.5.0.0)

[Marcus Uneson]

Hi,

arbtt seems to be a really excellent utility (so many thanks).  I
can't get it to work,
however: window titles are not captured.  wmctrl -l reports windows
and titles, as expected.
But titles are not logged:

> arbtt-dump
(...)

TimeLogEntry {tlTime = 2012-01-27 13:56:36.698671 UTC, tlRate = 60000,
tlData = CaptureData {cWindows =
[(False,"","xfce4-panel"),(False,"","xfdesktop"),(False,"","xfce4-panel"),(False,"","xfce4-notes"),(False,"","xfce4-terminal"),(False,"","Navigator"),(False,"","xfce4-terminal"),(True,"","xfce4-terminal")],
cLastActivity = 48}}
TimeLogEntry {tlTime = 2012-01-27 13:57:36.804329 UTC, tlRate = 60000,
tlData = CaptureData {cWindows =
[(False,"","xfce4-panel"),(False,"","xfdesktop"),(False,"","xfce4-panel"),(False,"","xfce4-notes"),(False,"","xfce4-terminal"),(True,"","Navigator"),(False,"","xfce4-terminal"),(False,"","xfce4-terminal")],
cLastActivity = 1666}}

I am on Xubuntu/Kubuntu 11.10. I tried installing latest version from
the repositories, 0.6.1-2,
(http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package_metas?exact_match=1&q=arbtt)
both on kde and xfce. The libghc6-x11-dev is 1.5
(http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/packages/show/337791)

I also tried cabal install arbtt with ghc 6.10.4 and X11-1.5.0.0, same result.

Ascii-only and unicode titles behave the same, i.e, neither
http://yogan.meinungsverstaerker.de/tmp/titletest-ascii.html
http://yogan.meinungsverstaerker.de/tmp/titletest-unicode.html
are captured.

LC_* is sv_SE.UTF8 or en_DK.UTF8 throughout

The problem is probably related to this

http://lists.nomeata.de/archive/arbtt/2010/000115.html

but that discussion does not really report a conclusion.

thanks for any suggestions,

Marcus
