It might be interesting what encoding goes wrong:
$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Aug 8 2008, 09:22:44)
[GCC 4.3.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> "John Batistic’s iPod".decode('latin1')
u'John Batistic\xe2\x80\x99s iPod'
>>> print u"\xe2"
â
So some process takes the whatsoever encoded string and interprets it as
Latin-1 which then gives you three single characters: â and the "two blocks".
Can you clarify when and where this message box pops up? Might it be connected
to the dialogue that asks you about what to do with the newly found device? Do
you have Amarok running in the background which has its own notification
process? Amarok is known to have encoding problems with attached devices.
