It's Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog running GNOME 2.10.

But still, even if writing to the filesystem using the current locale 
would work, I still have the problem that already reading them breaks my 
program. Since Nautilus doesn't suffer from this issue (it correctly 
reads ISO-8859-1 encoded filenames and converts them to UTF-8 without 
complaining), I'm not so sure whether this is a library problem.

Apart from that, is the code I posted correct in terms of UTF-8-ifying 
filenames? I still don't see what I am doing wrong (if anything).
