Stanislav,
This "nasty" GLib behavior is for a reason. Well at least from the CJK
biased GLib developers point of view :-) The belief is there are reasonable
amount of users who switches between UTF and non-UTF locales often. ATM
GLib tries to validate filename as UTF-8 encoded first and fallback to the
current locale encoding if it is not. This does not look normal to me but
anyway.
So if G_FILENAME_ENCODING thing is not broken by itself I suggest you to
add this to your local .login_conf or do the same in the system wide
/etc/login.conf if you like:
me:\
:setenv=G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@locale: \
...
And we may want to add this to the FAQ.
All the best,
Alexander.
