Well, that's true, but I've solved the problem on a Mac by encoding the 
source file as Windows Latin Western for gtk+-1.2 and UTF-8 for 
gtk+-2.0. I have no idea why I should encode as Windows Latin Western 
for gtk+-1.2.

It works for all accented characters I've tried (i.e all from French, 
Spanish, and German languages). So, maybe it could work or something 
similar on Red Hat.
