I've found two new side effects of entering accented vocals during Breezy
installation.

If I type an accented key in the real username during the installation, that
keycode gets into that real username (but the installation can continue). Then,
when the system is installed,

a) if I go to "About me" (under System -> Administration), the real username
field doesn't shows the correct name.
b) if I go to "Users and groups" (under System -> Administration, too), the
application crashes.

I must change the real username using vipw (or directly editing /etc/passwd),
and then the two above applications ("About me" and "Users and groups") works fine.

I think this is a very real bug with growing consecuencies (two of then showing
here).
