German Umlauts in Nautilus file name renamings

[Wolfgang Meyerle <3247-737 online de>]

Hi,

first of all big thanks to everyone who has paticipated in the 
development of gnome and has made such a good software possible for me 
to use.
I'm new here in the mailing list and I know it's not good to ask first 
but I have a problem with nautilus and I want to know if it's only a 
configuration problem or if it's a code problem. After a search in 
google I found that there are only some poorly visited forums out there 
which job is to inform users about gnome. But now not to bore you further

my Problem:
As you perhaps have already found out I'm german and for this I want 
that nautilus renames my files with german umlauts also. But if I want 
to do this it always says

The item could not be renamed.
The name "Hintergründe" is not valid. Please use a different name.

Is there any way to get around this problem or, do I have to live with 
that until the end of my days?

Perhaps you can give me some ideas to get this working. Would be nice...

Thanks for your time to read this...
