When clicking the floppy icon (open it, eject) messageboxes with random characters appear. I am using LANG=de_DE.
Where do they appear? What kind of random characters (english??) Do you have a floppy in the drive (though I can't reproduce it with it in or out.)
The effect seems to happen only the first time a user starts gmc (e.g. create a user (as root), login as this user and try to eject a media). The chars appear in the window where e.g. '/bin/mount: ...' will be shown normally and they are in the full 8bit range. It doesn't matter if a floppy is in the drive or not -- it happens in both cases, but with different "messages".
Still in beta2; will append a screenshot
