gnome_vfs_uri_resolve_relative has a very specific usecase. Its when you
find a (possibly relative) uri in e.g. a html page that you want to
resolve to an absolute one (given the uri of the page). Its not at all
useful for input of "uris" (which might be filenames or invalid uris).

It seems wrong in several ways. First of all you always convert input to
the local filename encoding which is not what uris in general use. Then
you feed a random inputed string which might not be a uri into
gnome_vfs_uri_resolve_relative. 

gnome_vfs_make_uri_from_input() was specially designed for exactly the
case of taking a randomly inputed location bar string (in utf8) and try
to make a uri of it. Why are you trying to do something strange instead?
