           Summary: KDE crashes when a non-latin username is used on
                    Windows
           Product: kde-windows
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kde-windows at kde.org
        ReportedBy: casper.vandonderen at gmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          MSVC 2008 Express 
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When using a non-latin username and starting Dolphin kded4.exe crashes after
giving a warning: "could not open file:///C:/<non-latin username>

We found out about this problem from bug 201972. Where Amarok can not open it's
settings file.

It looks like the characters are not converted to unicode properly and the
path's cannot be properly translated.

This seems to be a global problem in KDE-Windows.
