I'm using Linux Kubuntu 8.04 with all uptodate packages. The filenames
are encoded in UTF-8 and here's the output of "locale" :

ixm at ixm-laptop:~$ locale
LANG=fr_BE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_BE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Well, the only thing I had to do was moving it from
/home/ixm/Téléchargements/ to /home/ixm/ so no big deal, but I had to
google first to find the answer after having downloaded it 2 times :p
