I can't be 100% sure, but I *think* this has happened since I updated baselayout to version 1.11.14-r8 and glibc to 2.3.6-r4. I have USE="unicode" in make.conf (and everything compiled with it), UNICODE="yes" in /etc/rc.conf and LC_ALL=it_IT.utf8. All my reiserfs filesystem is in UTF-8, and I didn't have any problem at all until today. Today, I noticed disfunctions in nautilus, gnome-terminal and konqueror. 1)create an empty file called "foo" 2)using nautilus or konqueror, try and rename it to "fo

The name "foào" is incorrect." Already existing unicode file names are displayed correctly. I've noticed disfunctions in gnome-terminal, too, when trying to rename an already existing unicode file.

for my folder ~/documents/contabilit
for my folder ~/documents/contabilità/, I read "contabilità" (correct accented a) in nautilus, and "contabilità " (uppercase A tilde, plus space) in Openoffice 2. I used to see view it correctly in both.
and, last but not least, my locale for gnome has fallen back to english! $ echo $LANG $ echo $LC_ALL it_IT.utf8
the locale for KDE is still italian, though.
has nothing to do with baselayout
run `locale-gen -l` and post the output here
# locale-gen -l en_US.ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF8 it_IT.ISO-8859-15 it_IT.UTF8
and what does this show: LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF8 locale -a
# LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF8 locale -a locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory C POSIX en_US en_US.utf8 it_IT it_IT.utf8
fixed. 1)removed /etc/locales.build 2)added the following to /etc/locale.gen: en_US ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 it_IT ISO-8859-1 it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8 3)changed LC_ALL in /etc/env.d/02locale from it_IT.utf8 to it_IT.UTF-8 4)run `locale-gen` 5)rebooted now everything seems ok. So it seems that this happened because of some deprecated stuff that now is completely broken, but the users haven't been warned about it?
then run `locale-gen` and try again
I said, now it's fixed
we posted our comments at the same time :P i dont know what code path you took, but if you dont have locale.gen configured, the locale-gen will import previous settings from locales.build
