So we should force all Gnome 2 users to switch to UTF-8 locale. There is
no other way.

That function is needed because systems are in different locale than
UTF-8 (e.g. mine is in lt_LT.ISO8859-13), but Gtk+ 2.0 needs everything
in UTF-8.

Or should we use setlocale (LC_ALL, "something.UTF-8") instead?
