Summary:                    taskbar crashes when window title contains incorrect UTF-8
Description: 
Some applications that handle files (most often jEdit) do not check if the
filename of opened file is encoded using proper utf-8 while utf-8 locale
is used. When they try to display the filename in application titlebar,
xftaskbar will crash. Some applications, even though they do duplicate
incorrect filenames in title, do not crash the titlebar, I believe this is
caused by these applications checking the validity beforehands.

Distribution is gentoo. XFCE version is 4.0.5. Locale is fi_FI.UTF-8.
