Well, I know about g_io_channel_get_encoding, I meant I would to know encoding
of data I just read from the channel. Btw, if I did
g_io_channel_set_encoding(chan, 0, 0) (that should set encoding to NULL, right?
or I had to send "NULL" as parameter?) g_io_channel_read_chars() returned same
conversion error as before.

Heh, I have to learn more about glibmm :).
Thanks, Daniel, you're always very good helper.
And, I liked your work on CellRenderers :).
