(...) Hum... I agree with Glenn, there shouldn't be any problem with KDE and umlauts or any other special character. Some questions: - Can you create a new odt file and name it as "müller.odt"? - Can you open it? - Can you then rename it? If the error only happens with a concrete set of files that came for external sources (like FAT32 volumes, samba...) you can also try with "convmv" to make the conversion and see if that helps (make always a backup copy of the original files).
