Two immediate thoughts:

1) Perhaps the Mozilla component might be able to use some Mozilla 
function to do the character set encoding. Note that this is not an issue 
for the Nautilus shell, but just for the Mozilla component.

2) It seems OK to fix this only for Linux in a nonportable way because it'
s so important to Red Hat for the GNOME 1 Nautilus, since the problem will 
go away for the GNOME 2 Nautilus.
