Yes no problem, see below:

ls /users/Documents\ and\ Settings/giraudoux/Mes\ documents/Thèse\ Robardet/
Analyses 0509  Analyses 0608  projet thèse ER janv2005.doc
Analyses 0606  Analyses 0611

 ls --dired /users/Documents\ and\ Settings/giraudoux/Mes\ 
documents/Thèse\ Robardet/
Analyses 0509  Analyses 0608  projet thèse ER janv2005.doc
Analyses 0606  Analyses 0611


Even when emacs is launched from ~/ emacs the completion after C-x C-f 
is working  well with accents. The only trouble comes when emacs is 
launched from within a directory whose path has an accent in one of the 
names, eg:

/users/Documents\ and\ Settings/giraudoux/Mes\ documents/Thèse\ 
Robardet/emacs

Then, within emacs, the path given after C-x C-f  does not read accents 
properly in the path provided in the mini-buffer..

Quite strange?
