Hi, while testing Tk-thumbnail-viewer , I came across a problem, which I can't resolve. If you descend into the image subdir art/Paintings/Van_Gogh , there is a file named 
Van_Gogh__Landscape_at_Saint_Rémy .png

[download]
as seen in Midnight Commander. If I do a dir, I see 
Van_Gogh__Landscape_at_Saint_R\303\251my\ .png

[download]
Needless to say, when I try to open the file in my Tk program, it complains that "no such file exists". There are a few other files named this way, in the clipart package, and I want to know how to deal with them, so they will load in Perl.

My c based apps seem to find it.

I tried it from a gtk2 version of my viewer, and I get 

***   Failed to open file './wpclipart_src-1.7/art/Paintings/Van_Gogh/
+Van_Gogh__Landscape_at_Saint_Rémy .png': No such file or directory 
+at ./gtk2_thumbnail_viewer1 line 272.

Somehow the Rémy turned into Rémy ??

Can anyone explain this for me?
