When using UTF-8 gentoo with extended characters in filenames or directory, there is some issue in displaying these characters because the picasa launcher unset the locale. A solution works for me and should maybe be deployed (with a patch) for users with unicode keyword : /opt/picasa/bin/wrapper intentionally forces the locale. To fix this, comment out the lines # FIXME - Only US English has been well tested to this point, # so we unset all LOCALE strings, causing us to default to Posix and hence US English for x in `locale 2>/dev/null | sed 's/=.*$//'` ; do unset $x done
