Hello,
   I found that nautilus and eel treat almost all string as char *, 
it's not an i18n compatible method.
May be it's better to use wchar_t * (GdkWChar *) instead of char * 
(gchar*) as internal string type.
It would simplify the string handle and will achieve better i18n 
compatiblity.

Regards,

James Su
