[X2Go-Dev] Bug#615: NX proxy cannot start in Ubuntu 14.04 when the user's home dir has accented characters

Package: x2goclient Version: 4.0.2.1

Client OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Application: x2goclient 4.0.2.1-0~614~ubuntu14.04.1

Server OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Application: x2goserver 4.0.1.15-0~847~ubuntu14.04.1

When I invoke x2goclient and my home dir has accented characters (as in josé), nxproxy fails with a Loop: PANIC! error.

Undeniably, Linux applications do not expect path names to have non-English characters. Imho, nxproxy should report such abnormalities to allow applications that call it to exit gracefully or report to the user the cause of the problem.

Debug output is attached.
