[Bug 912379] Re: Accent letters in dirs name make lots of gtk errors

 

Ok, I can reproduce the issue there, it depends of the session used,
(i.e running "DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu nautilus" leads to no warning,
session it to "GNOME" does, no need to keep getting stacktraces I will
have a look locally

Title:
  Accent letters in dirs name make lots of gtk errors

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This report is an additional  report to bug #890441

  Previous troubles:
  - nautilus memory leak
  - seems to be due to language accent letters bad encoded with dirs and at least .gtk-bookmarks: in this case fr_FR-UTF8 is used and "Vidéos" is encoded as "  Vid%C3%A9os", the same garbage for "Téléchargement". 
  - Renaming dirs without "é" and removing borked .gtk-bookmarks then rebooting gives interesting results:
   1) less errors are logged into xsession-errors, but still some, so i suppose that other dirs/subdirs and/or config files are containing garbage due to that accent encoding issue.
   2) nautilus stop to eat memory

  As previously nautilus was eating about 10 Mib ram per hour, i
  understand that nautilus is monitoring the system with a very high
  frequency to produce such an amazing error volume. Maybe it should be
  less realtime or stop to fullfilled log with repeated similar errors.

  This report is made on Precise i386 full updated daily and using the
  latest langage-pack available into genuine archive. Oneiric have also
  the same issue with bad accent encoding.
