Bug Description

Wallch is not able to handle file names/file paths that contain characters like áéíóú and I guess any other non US characters.
(I'm using wallch 3.0 on Ubuntu 12.04)

Sample path: /home/juan/Imágenes/Wallpaper/*

Spanish localization on Mint and on Wallch as well. it can't show path acurately and images are inaccessible. Installed version 3.01-0ubuntu1 maintained by Ubuntu team. Regards.
