           Summary: Set G_FILENAME_ENCODING
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: rhythmbox
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: herzi at gnome-de.org
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


(I file this under rhythmbox because this is the package where I experience this)

I often exchange files with other people (both Windows and Linux users), so
occasionally I have some (sortof) broken filenames on my disk - e.g. a windows
codepage interpreted as iso-8859-1(5). As this is not directly a bug, these
things avoid several things to work correctly here.

Rhythmbox is not able to convert these filenames correctly when it should
display them. If G_FILENAME_ENCODING would have been set to the correct value,
this would not occur. Please set G_FILENAME_ENCODING to a reasonable value in
the login script.
