import pygame
pygame.display.init()
pygame.display.set_mode((400,100))
pygame.display.set_caption('TTM') #!!!
raw_input()

pygame sets WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "TTM" but openbox assumes all WM_NAME are iso-8859-1. relevant sections in the icccm are

Comment 2 Mikachu 2006-08-16 12:19:28 EDT 
modified tests/title.c to allow setting of this combo
