 I'm also using an ISO-8859-15 locale, and I tried with the same file
 as the submitter.  I also suggested G_FILENAME_ENCODING, but not
 G_BROKEN_FILENAMES.

 That's the other way around WRT the submitter's configuration, who
 claims:
 Locale: LANG=de_CH, LC_CTYPE=de_CH (charmap=ISO-8859-15)

 I suspect his locale could be borken (perhaps the name of the locale is
 incorrect, or the locale is not on the system?).

 I agree with the behavior of Gtk in the case you mention, the shell has
 trouble too (well something better than "invalid filename" would be
 nice).

   Bye,
