WM_NAME vs. _NET_WM_NAME

[Jasper St. Pierre]

The rationale for having both is unclear, but for reference, WM_NAME is of
ICCCM encoding (meaning it's one of six thousand possible encodings,
specified by the TYPE atom), while _NET_WM_NAME is guaranteed to be UTF8,
which is just a lot simpler. So, consider WM_NAME deprecated, and
_NET_WM_NAME the replacement.

We might just want to fix the wm spec as Thomas suggests, rewording it to
"If set, the Window Manager MUST use this in preference to WM_NAME"
