           Summary: Can't we support non ASCII user name to login in ?
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: wppan at redflag-linux.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

I am chinese, so I want use chinese user name to login in my computer.

I add a user "潘" through kuser(compiling from svn), and I set
Language=zh_CN.UTF-8
in /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc.

Then restart X, kdm displays my name "潘" perfectly, but when I input my
password, press enter,
a message box appears "Could not start kstartupconfig4. Check your
installation." Then It stops.

Then I login in safe mode, run kdeinit4, got some error messages:
trying to create local folder /home/.kde: Permission denied
trying to create local folder /home/.kde: Permission denied
Link points to "/tmp/ksocket-潘"
trying to create local folder /home/.kde: Permission denied
kdeinit4: Aborting. bind() failed: : No such file or directory
Could not bind to socket '/home/.kde/socket-localhost.localdomain/kdeinit4__0'

I infer that kdeinit4 doesn't get my "HOME" environment correctly, so it tries
to create local
folder in /home/.kde, of course Permission denied.

I think it's necessary to support non ASCII user name to login in for our
convenience.
