Comment (by cito):
As requested on the mailing list, some more info for reproducing the
problem:
* `os.path.supports_unicode_filenames` is `True` on my Win XP system.
* The connection file is stored as a relative path in the form
definition, i.e. the `addConnectFile()` method in `dApp.py` is called with
`connFile` set as something like `u'..\db\consulthours.cnxml'`.
* Because of that, when I load the form into the `ClassDesigner` and I'm
not in the correct directory, the connect file will not be found and
`addConnectFile` tries to search in some other places, for instance all
the directories in `sys.path`.
* Now on my Win XP system, `sys.path` contains a path with a German
Umlaut, which is stored as utf-8, so `addConnectFile()` tries to
concatenate that utf-8 encoded string to the unicode connFile. This raises
an exception because Python does not know how to handle this
concatenation.
