I have the same problem after upgrading from Ubuntu Studio Hardy to
Lucid:

When opening an OpenOffice file with non ASCII chars like æøå in either
the file name or in the path in Nautilus I get "File does not exist"
pop-up message. If I create a new file in OpenOffice and try to save it
with non-ASCII chars either in the file name or in the path I also get
the file not found message.

If I run from command line I get the following error and the file is NOT
opened:

l...@anteca:~/Dokumenter/leilighet/sameiet/nøkler$ ooffice "nøkler.odt" 
I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "nb_NO.utf8"
I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US"

If I open the file from within OpenOffice (Open file) then I also get
the file not found error.

However, there is a workaround. This works:

l...@anteca:~/Dokumenter/leilighet/sameiet/nøkler$ sh -c
"LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ooffice -writer brev\ aftenposten\ nøkler.odt "

OpenOffice is the only program that has this problem. I can open the
same file in a text editor fine.

This worked fine in Hardy...


Locale gives the following:

l...@anteca:$ locale
LANG=nb_NO.utf8
LANGUAGE=nb_NO:nb:no_NO:no:nn_NO:nn:en
LC_CTYPE="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_TIME="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_PAPER="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_NAME="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="nb_NO.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Hope someone with better understanding for the locales and chars can
help out. Must admit I think it is too bad we still have these kinds of
basic problems in Ubuntu Linux.
