Bug Description
I downloaded a .zip file containing an HTML file and some JARs, and unzipped it into my Downloads
directory on a typical Linux system. Since I am a non-English user, my
"Downloads" directory contains accented letters ("Letöltések").
I use the icedtea-plugin package under Ubuntu 12.10. I tried both Java 6 and 7.
Here is what I have in Firefox or Google Chrome ("tail -f ~/.xsession-
java version "1.7.0_15"

The applet will not start, and I have to kill the OpenJDK process manually
since the web page will not respond any longer.
I use Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS and icedtea-plugin 1.2-2ubuntu1.3.
