I use Perl and Tk module on Kubuntu 10.10beta with Unicode.
If I insert in my code line
use utf8;
then I can see Unicode symbols in TK GUI.
But in getOpenFile window(where shows files and folders) unicode symbols(ukrainian as example) shows as broken symbols(it's shows like 2*length Europian symbols with umlauts)). I can select this files and folders but can't see it correctly.
If I add
use encoding "uk_UA.UTF-8";
Then I can see folders correctly but can't select unicode files or folders.
I have this problem only in window where shows file structure.
I use program "widget" from TK-demo and all procedures which show file-structure of disk has this bug.
I use ext2 partition with defaults options in fstab for this partition and LANG=uk_UA.UTF-8.
I mean problem in double encoding filenames in Unicode.
How I can overcome this problem? May be I can use another procedures for dialogs?
