GnomeFileEntry looks pretty broken. It gets the filename, converts it to
utf8 with g_filename_to_utf8() and stores that in the entry, which it
then returns from gnome_file_entry_get_full_path(). At the very least it
should convert back to filename encoding before returning, but its also
possible that g_filename_to_utf8() fails, which totatlly breaks the
widget, making it impossible to pick such a file.

Maybe you can use GtkFileChooserButton instead.
