SRU: minimal patch for Karmic is attached

Nominating for SRU, fulfills: (1) have an obviously safe patch and (2)
affect an application rather than critical infrastructure packages

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: usb-creator
  
  usb-creator-gtk version: 0.2.12
  Ubuntu 9.10
  
  When the path to ISO-file contains non-ascii Unicode characters, usb-
  creator-gtk fails with "installation failed".
  
- If the path is all ascii characters like 
"/home/user/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso",
- it works fine.
+ [SRU request] 
+ Impact:
+ users cannot create usb startup disk unless moving ISO.
+ ISO files are downloaded to xdg-downloads directory, and translated 
xdg-downloads directory's name usually contains non-ASCII characters.
+ users who want to make Lucid startup disk on Karmic machine may face this 
error.
  
- How to reproduce:
+ fixed in version 0.2.21
+ and exactly change is the following:
+ 
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~usb-creator-hackers/usb-creator/trunk/revision/292
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
  1. Move ISO to "/home/user/DIRECTORY_NAME/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso" 
(DIRECTORY_NAME contains non-ascii character)
  2. Launch usb-creator-gtk and select the ISO
  3. Press "Make Startup Disk"
  4. Get "Installation failed" message
  
  Expected result:
  Press "Make Startup Disk",
  then start writing to USB stick
  and done.

** Patch added: "diff from usb-creator-0.2.12"
