Great!  Thank you.  Just for infomation: there's also a problem that comes up 
for Ubuntu users who have some file names with Cyrillic characters.  Ubuntu has 
made 'dash' the default shell for scripts, and dash has a long-standing bug 
that causes it to mishandle Cyrillic file names.  I have worked around it in my 
local copy of gtkpod by forcing the scripts to explicitly use bash instead of 
/bin/sh.  You probably don't want to modify gtkpod to work around this 
problem, since the bug is in dash (and in Ubuntu's choice to switch to dash).  
But you might hear of other users with a similar problem.
