Thanks for the explanation. I was thinking just add another Gtk2 flag,
like "use Gtk2 qw(init utf8)".
And that utf8 flag would just incorporate the same code the utf8::all module
uses.

I'm just glad it's explainable, as I was getting a bit flusterred as to
what was going on with the inconsistencies. :-)
