Please refer to 
http://www.gtk.org/api/2.6/glib/glib-Character-Set-Conversion.html for 
Charset convertion
As all string inside GTK+ are UTF-8, you should convert the filenames' 
encoding to UTF-8, and then convert them back to store on disk if neccesary.
For those locales other than utf-8, you should set environment viriable 
G_FILENAME_ENCODING= locale to make g_filename* functions work correctly.

Hope this will help.
