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.
Tested on a US Windows Vista Home Premium with a Japanese username.
Andrius da Costa Ribas was so kind to take a comment of Christian Ehrlicher and create an upstream QT problem report (and followup until it was in there): http://qt.nokia.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=261944
The qt problem report I've mentioned was transfered to the new tracker. So hey, we can vote for it now, which I just did. ;) http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-4796
*** Bug 201972 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This will be fixed in Qt 4.8 (Have seen it working)
