It seems like GtkFileChooser does not convert files and directory

AFAIK, no, you have to convert:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-Character-Set-Conversion.html

see the discussion at the top, then g_filename_to_utf8()
I don't think so. maybe I didn't explain it well. here are the problems:
1. I create a file from let say xterm, the filename has characters from
my local character set. when I open a gtkfilechooser the filename is not
displayed correctly. 
2. I create a directory from a gtkfilechooserdialog also with
foreign characters. then the name of the directory is displayed
correctly, but only in a gtkfilechooserdialog. in xterm it is not.
I attach 2 screenshots showing the problem with creating directory.
