  For some reason, you are translating ':' to %3A.  I'm not sure, but I
think you shouldn't. Use bonobo_moniker_util_escape() instead:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libbonobo/libbonobo-bonobo-moniker-util.html#bonobo-moniker-util-escape

bonobo_moniker_util_escape ()
char*       bonobo_moniker_util_escape      (const char *string,
                                             int offset);

Escapes possible separator characters inside a moniker these include '!'
and '#', the '\' escaping character is used.

string :
an unescaped string
offset :
an offset of characters to ignore
Returns :
an escaped sub-string.
