Can not create Application launcher on the Panel when special character ("äöü...") in "Command"-line

[Grek-336]

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

When creating a new Application launcher in the Panel, the launcher will not save the entered text if special Characters ("äöü...") are used for the command

Example for malfunction
-----------------------------------
Type: Anwendung
Name: Hörbücher
Command: hörbücher
Kommentar:

The launcher will not do anything when clicked and when its properties are viewed all fields are empty, including icon.

An Example that works
-----------------------------------
Type: Anwendung
Name: Hörbücher
Command: hoerbuecher

----------------------------------------

When a launcher is created on the Desktop it works fine with special characters in the command field!

When I move the launcher from Desktop to Panel it works too.

When I move a launcher from Desktop to Panel and modifiying the command line (hörbücher) it works but when I make a restart the Panel-launcher have empty fields.

Thank you for your work

I can reproduce the Bug in my VirtualBox Gutsy and Hardy Installation.

Still an issue with Intrepid, can you forward this upstream to bugzilla.gnome.org since you're facing the issue? for forwarding instructions please have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME ; leaving this as incomplete until that, thanks in advance.

Reassigning to match the product of the upstream bug.

The bug seems to be fixed in 2.30.0-3ubuntu3.

I did reproduce the procedure and verified that a command containing latin characters (such as "hörbücher") is launched.
