hmm, this is actually a bit different than i gathered from skimming over it ...
but at some place it *is* an encoding problem - somewhere in kdelibs or qt,
possibly only due to some variable not being set, so the michael's comment
might be relevant, even if not directly.
anyway, chinese login names are no particularly good idea. these are
system-level identifiers. non-ascii is almost as sensible as embedded spaces.
you can expect more things to break when least expected.
