g_filename_to_utf8() didn't really work out for me, while
g_locale_to_utf8() worked -
I'm using ShellExecuteW() in dia-win-remote() for the test

I expect that this will result in some broken result e.g. in Windows
Explorer that will "help" the user to understand
that there is something wrong. However, the basic problem is
understood. I haven't seen bug reports for pre-XP OSses
in a while so let's keep fingers crossed that all OSses are more or
less "Unicode"-ready. In case we receive any such
reports in the future, we should simply advise to install the
necessary font/language packs.
