Description Colin Walters 2009-07-08 01:02:36 UTC 
See patch in other bug.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #587949 +++

when running in non-UTF8 locale (for instance, fr_FR.ISO-8859-15), if username is containing non ASCII characters (for instance, Frédéric Crozat), no conversion from current locale to UTF-8 is done in gdmuser/gdm-user-manager.c, some g_locale_to_utf8 calls are missing.
Comment 1 Takao Fujiwara 2009-09-07 10:01:04 UTC 
I think /etc/passwd should be UTF-8 and this patch needs to be removed.
