read the error message again; it has the answer to your question.

Basically your problem is that the filenames you use are not UTF-8
encoded (or plain ASCII). If you set the environment variable
G_BROKEN_FILENAMES, glib will attempt to convert filenames to and from
the native encoding of your locale.

a GtkHBox doesn't have a GdkWindow that could receive events. You need
to place it into a GtkEventBox.
