The main problem being that gnome insist of everything being UTF-8 by
default. So will the broken_filename variable be set per default for
sarge, and we will forgo UTF-8 support ? And we could then make an
official announcement that sarge+1 should be officially full UTF-8, and
that this be a release criteria for sarge+1 ?
