I just committed r6254, hopefully fixing this issue. The display of 
non-english characters in menu items (like file names in the go menu) should 
be fixed as well.

For the record: the "solution" is simply a hack at the end of the chain, 
using François' tools for charset detection. This is because the internal 
cork encoding is not enforced for file names or widget elements at many 
points in the code (tmfs-title-handlers, file names in menu items, buffer 
names in titles, etc.), and choosing the proper ones where to convert is a 
complicated task, and sterile on top of that, since we wish to completely 
switch to internal utf8 encoding.

Therefore I choose to put the matter aside until someone 
(<cough>François</cough> X-D) has the courage and time to solve it 
thoroughly. The key places to keep in mind in qt code are from/to_qstring and 
the chooser_widget, where conversion must be performed manually.

Best,
