Description
When I run mythfrontend, part of MythTV, it looks for the file Trolltech.conf under a path that is missing the "ö" (o-diaeresis) in my home directory. According to a developer (in this bug report comment and this mailing list thread) this is a Qt bug, and not a bug in the mythfrontend application. See below for an example.
The developer suggested I set my home directory to /tmp/göran instead of the standard /home/göran so that Qt would be able to create the path and file under the truncated name, /tmp/gran. I did so, and attach the Trolltech.conf file that was created in /tmp/gran/.config in case it might be of any help.
