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 "�". 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 "�" 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.
