hmm, the GNOME 1.x version (0.2.9x) is not utf8-safe. GNOME 2 version is
(or at least should :-). So, it would be great if you could do the

yes, we'll extend the provider interface with all these things. Could
you add bugs to bugzilla about it, please?

And, what are the strict/not-strict functions?
