openoffice-1.1-devel unable to handle some folder names

[Bartosz Fabianowski]

After a few days of running openoffice-1.1-devel, I have run into an 
issue I've never had with version 1.1.1 (both versions compiled from ports).

The problem is that OOo is unable to handle file or folder names 
containing German umlauts, such as "ä", "ö" and "ü". When I drag a file 
with an umlaut in its name into OOo, a message box pops up telling me 
that the file does not exist. Also, when I'm browsing the directory tree 
in the "Open File" dialog, all files and folders containing umlauts are 
being shown as zero byte files.

This might be a general OpenOffice.org 1.1.3 issue, or it could be 
specific to FreeBSD. That's why I'm posting it here in the hope that 
maybe a few people who have non-FreeBSD boxes running OpenOffice.org 
could try and see if the same thing happens there as well.
