This gives me a strip of letters across the top of the screen with the
'R' mysteriously injured by horizontal bars,
$ set $(perl -e 'print chr $_ for ord q/!/.. ord q/~/'); xterm -title $@ -e read
-title RRRRRR shows the same problem.
I am running under icewm.

I don't see this with the Debian 8 beta (using icewm and xterm).
Perhaps it depends on available fonts or locale...

Well for now I have a workaround,
uxterm -bg hotpink4 -title SU -name SU -e su - & #disown %uxterm

Neither do I, not now and not back in 2014.

Dan, do you still have this problem?  If so, please send a screenshot.
