No. Quoting the GTK+-2.2 release announcement:
:The assumption of GLib and GTK+ by default is that filenames on the
:filesystem are encoded in UTF-8 rather than the encoding of the locale; The
:GTK+ developers consider that having filenames whose interpretation depends
:on the current locale is fundamentally a bad idea.
:
:If you have filenames encoded in the encoding of your locale, then you may
:want to set the G_BROKEN_FILENAMES environment variable:
:
: G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1
: export G_BROKEN_FILENAMES
:
:Best integration of GTK+-2.2 with the environment is achieved by using a
:UTF-8 locale.
