The german most certainly is encoded correctly in UTF8! not only did the
g_utf8_validate() pass, but the actual text I expect to see is correctly
shown when printing it to a GtkLabel. 

For some reason, the text (even though it is validated) causes the
GtkTextView to dump errors about the UTF8 validity???

I can only assume that it has something to do with the extra information I
print with it (timestamp, name, yada yada yada)
