I blogged about it at

There might be some further input.

My main concern is how systems such as FreeBSD with GNOME behave 
(apparently they use non-UTF8 encodings). I did not manage to duplicate 
the behaviour on Ubuntu, so if someone has a system with legacy 8-bit 
encoding, could you please check?
