I was wrong about this it turns out, it does convert to locale
encoding before passing to the X functions. It's only using X because
GTK doesn't work around twm very
well. (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59175)

On get_title()? There is absolutely no working usage of this function
- the return value (Latin-1) has hopelessly lost the necessary
information. Anyone using get_title() has broken code. Calling iconv()
on the result doesn't do anything of interest; it just converts
gibberish to more gibberish.

Galeon looks like it's using get_title_unichar() so it may not matter
though, perhaps no one is using get_title().

Yes, I understand that. I'm not talking about changing
get_title_unichar()

Rather I'm saying get_title() should return text in the same encoding
every other GTK 1.2 widget get_foo() function returns it in.

In Galeon, src/mozilla.cpp:mozilla_get_document_title() contains this
code already. I can put it in Nautilus, I was just hoping to fix it in
several places at once.
