I already have more feedback for you :-)
I was thinking now what I could "do wrong" on purpose, from an users'
perspective, in order to confuse leo. And I've got a result in no
time.
I've saved an outline using Russian letters (koi8-r encoding, which is
my locale). It saved fine. I've closed leo, restarted it and tried to
open the outline in question. This is what I've got printed in leo's
log pane:
reading: /tmp/1/leo/leo-current/ффф.leo
unexpected exception writing /home/shadow/.leo/.leoRecentFiles.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/tmp/1/leo/leo-current/leo/core/leoConfig.py", line 2086, in
writeRecentFilesFileHelper
theFile.write(s)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode characters in position
23-25: ordinal not in range(128)
unexpected exception writing /home/shadow/.leo/.leoRecentFiles.txt

This doesn't affect me, because I follow a rock-solid rule of avoiding
non-ascii non-English symbols in filenames at any costs.
Also I think that the amount of leo users that could eventually be
impacted by this is reasonably low. Assuming an utf8 locale by default
is a good default policy. My Linux distribution of choice (Slackware)
does not use utf locales by default yet, and I believe the developers
do it for real good reasons. But it's very possible that this will
change in the future.
