    meta_show_dialog: fix encoding of command line arguments
    
    Command line arguments are supposed to be in the locale encoding,
    not UTF-8, and Zenity decodes command line string command line
    arguments with this assumption using GOption.
    
    There was a half-hearted attempt to deal with this in delete.c,
    but it wasn't correct since it immediately mixed the window title,
    converted to the locale encoding with a UTF-8 message.
