Description Dāvis 2013-11-28 20:33:07 UTC 
GTK applications doesn't use respective GTK style if user's home directory contains non-ASCII character(s). For example Firefox will look http://i.imm.io/1kBNU.png for user with home directory as /home/tēst/

I'm using up-to-date Arch Linux x86_64 with gtk2 2.24.22-1 and KDE desktop environment.

Seems ~/.gtkrc-2.0 isn't loaded as none of it affects user with home dir /home/tēst/, but it does work fine for /home/test/



To reproduce, create new user with home directory as /home/tēst/ and login with that user launching some GTK application (eg. Firefox). Appliaction won't use respective type.



By the way I've also submitted it at KDE https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327919 but seems it not related to it.
