For GTK, $CHARSET tells programs about filesystem encodings. See also the old bug report about gringotts: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=206618&archive=yes If $CHARSET is not set, any GTK program assumes UTF8 filename encoding. Setting G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1 prevents this and always tries to use the locale charset (which is bad anyway, because the locale charset changes, filesystem encoding not). See http://www.gtk.org/gtk-2.2.0-notes.html and look for G_BROKEN_FILENAMES. Regards, Bastian - -- ,''`.
