Hmm, my debugger seems to be broken. It's a new system.

Rather than getting the number of characters and then giving that to the
ustring constructor to convert back to number of bytes, I suggest we put
the string in a std::string and just use the Glib::ustring(std::string)
constructor. I can't see a more suitable ustring constructor.
