It adress an issue concerning charsets. Application running under
X11.app are not able to read accented (or other special chars) in file
names. The finder and the OSX system use UTF-8, but X app see isolatin1
charset.
I did not see this question on the list, only keymap problem.
I do not report on this problem before because 0.1 was not
"international". Now 0.2 is said to be OK, so it's time to see if other
are in the same situation.
