I didn't think to try this. It appears that the answer is no. So if I
try http://es.yahoo.com, then I get...


<title>Yahoo! España</title>

displays as

Yahoo! Espa - Galeon

(where Galeon is the name of the browser). 

I'm not sure what locale I'm running, but I'm using en_GB, as
language. 

This appears to be a sawfish problem. Although I just tried twm, and
that does the same as well.
