Package: gnome-system-tools
Version: 0.90.0-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
the dialog asking for the root password doesn't understand non-us-ascii
characters. Verified with german umlauts and s-sharp.
I don't think I'll adapt my root password for this very reason :-)
IMO this really isn't a mere i18n issue.
Regards,
Nikolaus
