[X2Go-Dev] Bug#566: Acknowledgement (X2Go Client for Windows 4.0.2.1 cannon create C:\Users\<username>\ssh\known_hosts file when the local Windows account username has non-English characters)

[George Trakatelis]

A suggested patch is to substitute the Qt4 toAscii() function with toLocal8Bit() 
in two specific places of SshMasterConnection::run().
A git diff is as follows:

$ diff /c/a/sshmasterconnection.cpp /c/b/sshmasterconnection.cpp
521c521
<     ssh_options_set ( my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_SSH_DIR, (mainWnd->getHomeDirectory()+"/ssh").toAscii());
---
>     ssh_options_set ( my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_SSH_DIR, (mainWnd->getHomeDirectory()+"/ssh").toLocal8Bit());
630c630
<     ssh_options_set ( my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_SSH_DIR, (mainWnd->getHomeDirectory()+"/ssh").toAscii());
---
>     ssh_options_set ( my_ssh_session, SSH_OPTIONS_SSH_DIR, (mainWnd->getHomeDirectory()+"/ssh").toLocal8Bit());

The change affects only Windows builds and was tested in Windows 8.1 Pro and Windows 7 Professional.
