xdg menu glitch

xdg menu glitch

[Franz Fehringer]

Dear Cygwin community,

With xdg menu i observe a small glitch, namely german umlauts are not
displayed correctly but rather their two byte representations are shown.
The xdg menu ist started when i launch the X11 (XWin) server and shows
up as a small icon at the lower right next to the X11 icon.
I tried both de_DE and de_DE.utf8 for both LC_ALL and
.config/user-dirs.locale without any difference.
Is this an error or am i missing some configuration piece?

Thanks and best regards

Franz

Thanks for reporting this.

This is an error, and xwin-xdg-menu wasn't correctly handling non-ascii 
characters in the localized menu text.

I've uploaded today an updated xwin-xdg-menu-20160601-1 package, which 
should fix this.
