About GTK2 and i18n (Chinese)

[Xuedong Zhang <zxd auda bu edu>]

Hi,
 When using GTK2 , I found that I cann't use chinput (Chinese XIM) to input
the chinese, also it doesn't recogonize the filename in GB2312 anymore. This
brings a lot of compatibility problems.

 I wonder if it is the problem that gtk2 now only deal with utf8 encoding
if it is, it would be nice that gtk2 can automatically recogonize one 
other locale encoding.
say GB2312 under the chinese enviroment (or GB18030?)
