Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


I'm trying to display multi-lingual text in the frame title, under X. 

So for instance I can display "?Que' es esto?" fine in the buffer
(with an upside down ?, and an "e acute" which won't go through the
mail system), but if I try to display it on the frame title, it gets
truncated after the first ascii character.

I'm not sure whether emacs should be able to do this, or not, so I
don't know whether this is a bug, or not!

On a separate front, any advice, as to how to strip non ascii
characters, or rather translate them to return something equivalent
(so "e acute" would return "e" and so on), which I could use as a work
around, would be much appreciated. 

Thanks


Phil
