Description rapsys 2009-10-27 00:03:36 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #151692 +++

Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.95.00 (KDE 4.0 Beta4))
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.7-default

When trying to change anything in the User settings (e.g. the Name) and click "Apply", A dialog pops up asking for my password (why that?).

If I enter the password and click OK, the application freezes (no response, no redraw).
In ps I find "chfn" to be a zombie (<defunct>) process.

This bug is still valid with 4.3.2 system settings, the problem is still present with an incorrect charset conversion from utf-8 to iso8859-15 on ë letter that make systemsettings

The previous say the bug is fixed, but it's completely false here as i still confirmed it right now with 4.3.2 version of systemsettings

ASCII-only is required.
