Bug Description

usb-creator seems confused by my download folder being called "Téléchargement" (notice the non-ASCII characters).
It will yield a "Echec d'installation" (installation failed) message each time I select anything in there.
If I move the image file to a folder without accents I correctly install the image.

I used to work around this by with "LANG=C sudo usb-creator-gtk" but in Saucy this results in an error popup stating:
"An unhandled exception occurred:
'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe9' in position 10: ordinal not in range(128)"
