Emacs problem with accents in paths

[Velásquez, Constantin]

Hi, now that I updated to emacs 22.2 I can't work with paths which
contain symbols like 'á', for example, when, in dired, I try to update
"~/Matemáticas/" an error message appears in the minibuffer saying
that it can't find "~/Matem\201áticas". Nothing appears in *Messages*
and I just don't know what could be, it used to work fine and now the
only problem is that, not input or anything else. Any help?

Just playing on my box, I found that my language environment was
latin1 and my pathnames were in utf. The following fixes it for me.

(set-language-environment "UTF-8")

With UTF-8 I have no problems reloading in dired but accents just
don't display correctly. I'm using this from now on but there must be
another way.
