One more Idea (will check myself later): there are a lot of function in
librep/rep-gtk like int_to_float and such stuff. The strings in
sawfish-ui are comming from itself, so perhaps the function which makes
vectors/rep-strings into gtk-strings does not support utf8? Would mean
the issue is really in librep or rep-gtk, rather than in
sawfish/sawfish-ui.
