Hmmm, that's interesting reading, and relevant, but it doesn't really
answer my question. :) I have a FileChooserDialog set to
GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE, and I read its filename with a get_filename
method call after running it with a run method call. What I want to know
is, what encoding is put into the resulting scalar (from the get_filename
call)? I thought it was probably Unicode because that's what gtk uses in
general, and also the resulting filenames kinda looked like Unicode. But I
wanted to make sure.
