This is a good point. Codesets have been ignored  by ORBit2 on 
demarshalling object references, this has been fixed in CVS head a few 
days ago, installing current HEAD from CVS should be fine for you.

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous anoncvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome login
# hit return as the password
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous anoncvs gnome org:/cvs/gnome checkout ORBit2
cd ORBit2 ; configure --prefix=/opt ; make ; make install

Please note, ORBit2 does not do any codeset-conversion so far,  but this 
could be added for specific codesets forth and back to utf8 quite easily 
with functions declared in  glib-2.0/gconvert.h (see marshaling code in 
ORBit2/src/orb/GIOP).
