Special characters not stored correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a new Phrase
2. Call it "Mit freundlichen Grüßen"
3. Save it
4. Close and reopen the configuration gui

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected that the phrase has the name I entered, but it displays: Mit 
freundlichen Grü�en and the phrase doesn't work.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.60.2

I have this same problem. I would like to know if it can be fixed. Thanks!

The odd thing about this error is that, if I go in and make a simple change 
(say, 
deselecting and reselecting the ALT key or whatever key used for a key command) 
and 
then save it, that key command works fine (until, of course, I turn off the 
computer 
or restart autokey).

Please let me know if this is still happening in the latest version (0.61.5)
otherwise I'll close.

i'm using version 0.71.2 (gtk version) and the word "resumé" (in my phrases) 
comes out as "resum".  i had some spanish-language autokey phrases as well, but 
don't often use them due to the fact that accented and special characters 
(áéíóúü¿¡ñ) are simply omitted.  i'm running ubuntu 10.04 with a 
2.6.32 kernel.  otherwise i love autokey 8)

See on the Wiki: http://code.google.com/p/autokey/wiki/Troubleshooting

There is a section on special characters (e.g. accented). See if this resolves 
your problem.

I have the same issue. When I type : "ąę..." I got  "...".
