I usually don't have the status bar visible for reasons of screeb real estate. Is the fact that the title bar remains blank a bug? a problem with the Icewm window manager (not likely as other programs do display text in the title bar)? a case of user error?

Maybe an encoding issue? Did you try a different WM?

Does anyone using a minimal window manager (or any other window manager) see text in the title bar? If so, which minimal window manager are you using? I "startx" at the command line, which starts IceWm because it's hard-coded in a config file (no *dm), so it would be nice to know which minimal window manager is worth trying.

All the other GIMP windows (Toolbox, Color Picker, etc) have titles in the title bar. In case I'm using the wrong terminology, by "title bar" I mean the strip across the top of the image window, which currently is empty except for the icons for minimizing, maximizing, and closing the window (on the extreme right), and a thumbnail of the image (on the extreme left).

I'm using AwesomeWM. With Gimp 2.9.1 from git I see the image icon and text in the title bar in single-window mode and traditional mode, as well as the file name in the status bar. The text in the title bar includes the image name, mode, imported tag and image pixel dimensions. I use light dm if that has any relevance!

Hi

Your problem with text in title bar in ICEwm might be either GIMP version issue or wrong configuration of ICEwm and Xorg. I use ICEwm by startx/xinit on laptop. All programs, including GIMP 2.6 display text in titlebar. On PC i use ICEwm, with KDM and GIMP 2.8 and i do have text in title bar. GIMP in KDE also displays text in titlebar.

My configuration is mostly done by Debian developers - i use packages from their repository. System encoding set to utf8. I used to have issues in other programs and ICEwm because of encoding. Whenever system, Xorg and software were not configured to the same encoding, ICEwm tend to behave "strange". (In my area one can expect iso8859-2, cp1250 and sometimes cp1251 & iso8859-1 - we use this characters and menus tend to miss either characters or whole items). NLS flag might be responsible for such problems afaik it deals with encoding too.

Hope You'll find what cause the problem. Good Luck

Thanks! I'll try AwesomeWM and see what happens.

Jonathan and Karl, thanks very much for letting me know that you can see text in the title bar. Knowing that other people could see text in the title bar was an incentive to find a solution.

Thinking back, I've never seen text in the GIMP image window title bar. Even in single window mode, there was no text in the title bar.

I upgraded IceWM to 1.3.8 and added the "nls" (native language support) use flag because of Michael Schumacher's suggestion of an encoding problem (not sure if nls is relevant to encoding or not).

Either upgrading or adding the nls flag did the trick and now the image window has the file name in the title bar.
