I use Fedora Core 1 with russian locale ru_RU.koi8r. When I saved file (SaveAs) with russian letters in filename I have some problems.

1. I don't see filename in header of program. 2. When I closed inkscape and start it again I have message

/home/oau/.inkscape/preferences.xml either is not valid xml file or you do not have read premissions on it. Although inkscape will run, you are neither able to load nor save preferences.

I viewed filename.svg and preferences.xml files and I found what Inkscape write some attributes in tags in koi8r locale, non utf-8.

Example

filename.svg

tag <svg ... sodipodi:docname - koi8r locale sodipodi:docbase - koi8r locale

preferences.xml

tag <document ... uri - koi8r locale name - koi8r locale

It's wrong.
