GTK Accessibility Module initialized
Problems with PyOGCLib (not installed?)
An unhandled exception occurred:

(please report to http://thuban.intevation.org/bugtracker.html)

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 2865-2870: unsupported Unicode code range

My locales are fr_BE at UTF-8.

I think this bug is a little bit annoying since Debian/Etch release will be using utf8 locales by default !
