Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux I just changed my system encoding to utf-8 and I'm hoping the following behaviour isn't my fault. My kwallet password contains an accented character (ΓΌ) but after the switch to utf-8 kwallet no longer accepts my password. It clearly misinterprets keyboard input. When I type in that accented character *two* asterisks appear instead of one. I haven't found any other utf-8 related problems so far in KDE, so I suppose this is a kwallet bug. As a workaround I simply changed my password to be ASCII-only (which probably is the only reasonable choice for passwords).
Same thing with KWallet in SuSE 9.1. But kdesu also has this behaviour (two stars appearing for accented characters) whereas the password dialog for fish does not do this.
Not a KWallet bug.
