Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.4.1-1
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss


Hello.

Save a file, say "Book1.gnumeric", in a directory named "é". In the
window dedicated to "save", it is named "\351" (iso8859-1, octal) in
the saving dialog. Nothing seems unusual, I heard that gnome uses
UTF8. Except the file has a size of 0, and the data is lost.

It does not lose data, but it seems related:
- The same works correctly if I create the directory with gnumeric (it
uses an unicode filename, with ugly two-letters results).
- Loading a file with an "é" in its name crashes gnumeric.

Maybe it is not worth the mess, because UTF8 is the future and few
users use the command line and gnumeric. But a "save your data
elsewhere" message would be nice.


PS: Do not cry for my data, I printed before s(h)aving them
accidently.
