I learned the hard way that, in order for Gtk to count *characters* and
not *bytes* you need to call gtk_set_locale().

So, try editing the file ggv/src/main.c to change:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        GnomeClient *client;
        poptContext ctx;
        gchar **startups;
        gchar *fname;
        ggv_window *ggv;

        bindtextdomain(PACKAGE, GNOMELOCALEDIR);
        textdomain(PACKAGE);


to:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        GnomeClient *client;
        poptContext ctx;
        gchar **startups;
        gchar *fname;
        ggv_window *ggv;

	gtk_set_locale();
        bindtextdomain(PACKAGE, GNOMELOCALEDIR);
        textdomain(PACKAGE);



and recompile, and see if that changes something.
