[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: x2goclient
Version: 4.0.5.0
When I try to connect to a remore session where the password contains some
rare special characters (like £). The server reject the password (even if
it is the correct one).

I've looked at the code and it seems that the problem is the usage of
QString::toAsci. I attach a patch where I convert all of them to
QString::toUtf8, it seems that it solves the problem.

I've managed to build the client with Qt 5.4.2 on Centos 7.1 so the patch
also contains some changes that get rid of the obsolete Qt methods and
replace them with the new advised ones. This patch is against a snapshot
of the master branch of the 12th of August 2015.

Best regards,
Sebastien
