Description Kevin Fenzi 2009-06-30 05:33:07 UTC
From upstream bug:

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2891

and discussed at: 

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=225188

We should look at applying the upstream patch, or possibly some less invasive patch.

Comment 1 Kevin Fenzi 2009-07-19 18:19:46 UTC
This is a somewhat messy issue. ;( 

I will whip up a scratch build of the patch in the upstream report and see how well it works and what we want to do here. Sorry for the delay.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2009-07-19 18:32:35 UTC
Here's a scratch build with the upstream patch applied:

Comment 3 Christoph Wickert 2009-09-10 02:45:38 UTC
Hmmm, I don't really like this, way to invasive. How about something like
http://patches.ubuntu.com/e/exo/extracted/xubuntu-default-mount-options.patch

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2009-09-10 03:42:15 UTC
Yeah, that one would be fine for me too... I'm not sure how big a problem this is, I really have only run into one report of it. ;(

Comment 5 Christoph Wickert 2009-09-10 05:18:16 UTC
Most likely because in the US no one really need to care about UTF-8, but here in Europe it's a problem. I had complainants in #fedora-de and fedoraforum.de.

I have built exo-0.3.101-4 with the Ubuntu patch.

Works fine for me and at least one other person.
