This is GNOME's position, and caused a lot of heated debate when it was
decided upon. The rationale is that you can't expect everyone on a
single system to share the same locale. Even worse, you can't expect to
share files by any protocol if the filename encoding isn't shared as
well.

Other locales work, it's just the filenames that need to be UTF8.
