Dear Dmitry, Setting Russian as the default language for non-Unicode programs showed that x2goclient-4.0.3.0-20141021-setup.exe behaves correctly with test user name фисвуа. [To change system locale, I followed the instructions in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-system-locale#1TC=windows- 7] So please investigate for other causes for the misbehavior of x2goclient's current release on your system. One such a cause would be known_hosts being read-only. [@Mike#2: ssh_write_knownhost()'s return value should have been checked whether it's zero or SSH_ERROR and acted upon] As there are portions of x2goclient that depend on code that ignores system locale [such as getenv( "USERNAME" )], you'd be better off if you didn't use user names with non-Ascii characters for the time being.
