I don't think so. maybe I didn't explain it well. here are the problems:
1. I create a file from let say xterm, the filename has characters from
my local character set. when I open a gtkfilechooser the filename is not
displayed correctly. 
2. I create a directory from a gtkfilechooserdialog also with
foreign characters. then the name of the directory is displayed
correctly, but only in a gtkfilechooserdialog. in xterm it is not.
