Without even the need for you to tell me to define "without success" 
(yes this is far to vague to even be a useful statement), I can tell you 
that you should re-read the documentation for Glib::RefPtr<> as you are 
misusing it.

*hint*: the doc for g_utf16_to_utf8() tells you that the pointer needs 
to be freed with g_free(). Why don't you just do that?
