A piece of advice:

Do printenv in a terminal and let people know if

GDM_LANG

is set and to what value.

This depends on your choice in the gdm login screen for language.

Hopefully your trouble is just a choice of the C locale for language (or most likely you never chose one) or never installed appropriate locale support.

I cannot reproduce your problem. I have
GDM_LANG=pt_PT.ISO-8859-1

but I am an ultra conservative about using ISO-8859-1 which makes life with pine, latex and php simpler.

Duplicating a file in nautilus I got a filename with "cópia" which Vi improved happily opened.

On the face of it your problem is totally unrelated to gnome.

It seems that you are right about me never choosing a gdm locale (I don't recall ever having done this since my fresh install of my debian system). When I do a 'printenv | grep -i gdm' I get:

jose sweety:~$ printenv | grep -i gdm
GDM_XSERVER_LOCATION=local
GDMSESSION=default

so I don't have a GDM_LANG variable defined. Do you think that if this variable is set at login (say to "C") it would fix my problem? TIA.
