What I don't like about it is that it applies one setting to *all* smb
shares. But all smb shares are not the same, so if only some smb shares
has this problem then you can't use the env-var solution.

A better solution is to have different setting for this on each smb
share. This is the solution i'm working towards in gvfs, which is to
replace gnome-vfs. gvfs has an explicit knowledge of "mounts", so we can
have per-mount settings like filename encoding.
