--- Comment #18 from Alex Henrie  ---
The problem here is actually that Russian filenames cannot be represented in
the C locale. For example, the desktop folder "C:\users\alex\Рабочий стол" is
converted to "C:\users\alex??????? ????" which cannot be created or accessed.
Without being able to access the desktop folder, the file dialog is
nonfunctional. Windows does not have this problem because on Windows the
filesystem containing "C:\Users" must support the system locale.

Locales such as French, German, Bulgarian, and Japanese either do not translate
"Desktop" or do not use any non-ASCII characters in the translation.
