If this breaks, it is likely the null termination on a string is being
lost.

I just took a look at this code -- it looks kinda strange.  mbstr is
gchar*, while src is guint32* (a.k.a. GdkWChar*).  Maybe more logic needs
to go here?

These sort of questions would be more appropriate on
gtk-list@redhat.com...
