Hi,

now that I got gnome-screensaver working, I noticed that my name in the
unlock screen is misspelled due to a wrong encoding in /etc/passwd.

I have ISO-8859-15 as my charmap, not UTF-8. I set my real name as
&quot;Andr=E9 Wendt&quot; with an accent over the ``e'' in users-admin. The name
seems to be UTF-8-encoded in /etc/passwd. If I re-convert the file to
ISO-8859-15, users-admin refuses to start.

Thus, gnome-screensaver should use the same encoding/decoding mechanism
as users-admin when reading /etc/passwd.

Regards,
Andr=E9
