specifically, it is upgrading the scalar to utf8; gtk+ requires strings 
in utf8.

for the most part, you'll want to use utf8 in your source code in the 
first place.  if you can't have the strings be modified (e.g., they're 
actually owned by other code), try copying them.

is there any reason you can't upgrade?  this utf8 issue hasn't changed 
since 1.0, but 1.023 is old and missing some features.
