Bug Description
I just found out this because of a bzr bug (malone #3452), now I recall it, the
xscreensaver lock screen doesn't display the last letter of my first name and it
is an accentuated letter.
I typed my name during the installation and I thought the Debian installer was
using UTF-8 too.
Recoding passwd to UTF-8 fixed both bzr and xscreensaver. But maybe this is not
intended after all.
(Not sure about the source package.)
