After some patches for #2438 it is now possible to log in with a non-ascii
username. However, when I try to log out, I get exceptions like this one:

}}}
This seems to be caused by Paste trying to get a unicode representation of
a webob.Request which has utf-8 chars in it. Unfortunately, Paste cannot
deal with such requests (see [http://groups.google.de/group/paste-
users/browse_thread/thread/a5de15e6b46873ea here]).
In this case, the utf-8 char is in the cookie set by repoze.what.authtkt
which includes the utf-8 encoded user name in the 'authtkt' cookie. (Maybe
repoze.what.authtkt should better convert the cookie to a pure 7-bit
representation like the standard Python Cookie lib does?)
The reason why Paste tries to get a representation of the request seems to
have something to do with the add_dbsession_remover_middleware method in
turbogears.configuration.
