I can reproduce the steps from #1 on Windows XP sp3 using Pinta 1.0. Actually I have found out that saving the file into non-English directory returns error as described in bug report, but clicking on "x" (right top window icon) and Pinta works fine again. So it actually does not crash, just returns this error on saving and unable to save the file.

I have tried steps from #1 on Ubuntu 11.04 adding a Webupd8 repository for Pinta 1.0:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pinta

The problem does not appear in Ubuntu 11.04.

This may be a platform specific problem or it can be a Gtk# specific. On Windows I am using Gtk# version 2.12.9 as suggested by official Pinta web page: http://pinta-project.com/download.ashx
I have checked Gtk# version on Ubuntu by using command: dpkg -l | grep libgtk | grep sharp (I hope this is correct command to check Gtk# version on Ubuntu) and it is displayed the 2.14.1-1 version.

Don't know what is now recommended version of Gtk# for Pinta, but communicating few months ago with Jonathan Pobst (official Pinta project starter) he suggested to use version on official Pinta web page, because new version of Gtk# at that time had some serious bug that caused some problems in Pinta.
