Description
The current windows install sets the
.qgis/python/plugind directory under
C:/Documents and Settings/username
which results on general plugin failure in the case "username" has non-ascii
characters, i.e.
'C:/Documents and Settings/Mauro RodrÃguez Rey/.qgis/python'
A solution would be to optionally set the .qgis directory to another
place.
Not sure if this problem would also occur for non-windows installations.

Hi,
to be more specific, for "general failure" it is meant that the python plugins do not install when the windows username includes non-ascii chars.
As far as I know this does not affects installations on linux, but would be better to double check.
