Unable to open URL while using Russian locale

[Sergey Kirienko]

Binary package hint: empathy

I use Empathy 2.24.1 and Russian locale at Ubuntu.
This is the bug:
1. In Empathy menu open Help > About
2. In opened About Empathy dialog click project URL (http://live.gnome.org/Empathy)
3. See error message (screenshot in attachment). Near translation from Russian:
==Unable to open URL==
There was an error while executing the child process "/home/sergey/Рабочий" (No such file or directory)

That is because in my Russian Ubuntu instead of having usual folder name like /home/sergey/Desktop I have its "localized" version "/home/sergey/Рабочий стол" (yes, with space). Looks like Empathy didn't expect that.

Please include what distribution of ubuntu you are running.

I use 8.10 intrepid.
By the way, I had upgraded Empathy to 2.25.something (from Launchpad's Telepathy PPA) — still same result.

I apoligise for the delayed reponse it seems I forgot to subscribe.

I believe the picture is pretty sufficient grounds to confirm this bug. But if anyone disagrees with me, I encourage you to change it.

Thanks for the report, may you please try the same with Empathy 2.26.1 on Jaunty or 2.27.X from the telepathy PPA (https://edge.launchpad.net/~telepathy/+archive/ppa) or Karmic and see if it's still an issue there? Thanks in advance.
