Do you know whether this is also guaranteed to work with user input?
Or are there be other unicode characters apart from 0123456789 for
other languages (like Chinese) that make up numeric values and
wouldn't be converted correctly?

If yes, do you think
  long x = boost::lexical_cast<long>(Glib::locale_from_utf8(s))
should work for every case?
