Package: gnome-pilot
Version: 2.0.10-1
Severity: normal

On my Palm Vx, I have the user name set to "David Kågedal".  When
installing gnome-pilot fresh and running the setup wizard, it fetches
the user name from the palm.  But is fails to handle the "å" in the
name, and it displays it as "David K", and the following appears in
the error log:

** (gpilotd-control-applet:8787): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
** Message: device Cradle sent userinfo
** Message: user->userID   = 16685
** Message: [Invalid UTF-8] user->username = David Kågedal
 
** (gpilotd-control-applet:8787): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
** Message: Pilot name -> MyPilot
** Message: Pilot id   -> 16685
** Message: [Invalid UTF-8] Pilot username -> David Kågedal
** Message: Pilot creation/rom = 0/0
** Message: Cradle Type -> Serial
** Message: cradle device name -> Cradle

** Message: Pilot Speed  -> 57600
** Message: Timeout -> 2
 
** (gpilotd-control-applet:8787): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()
 
The last message repeast many times. 

It seems that it gets a Latin-1 string and tries to decode it as
UTF-8.
