[gtkmm] filename_to_utf8 + gettext = problems

[Frederic Jean <frederic_jean users sourceforge net>]

Hi,

	In the software we are currently developing, we get filename and folder name 
with functions from stat.h ( char* ) that we put in std::string.  Then, we 
apply the function filename_to_utf8 to these std:string to get ustring and 
make them shown by a TreeView.  All was working fine util we decide to use 
gettext.  We just put the lines 

ALL_LINGUAS="fr"
AM_GNU_GETTEXT

in configure.in 

and 

setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
bindtextdomain (PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
textdomain (PACKAGE);

in main()

Now, all call to filename_utf8 failed with the following error :

glibmm-CRITICAL **:
unhandled exception (type Glib::Error) in signal handler:
domain: g_convert_error
code  : 1
what  : invalid byte sequence in conversion input.


We have tried locale_to_utf8, with the same results.

And finally, we tried without make any call to filename_to_utf8 or 
local_to_utf8, and we get these warnings :

WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()

For now, we are developing on RedHat 8.0, configured for french canadian 
(fr_CA) 

Did anyone already have this kind of problem?
