Re: Problem with non-ascii filenames on a non utf-8 locale

[Michel Boaventura]

I think I get what is going on here. PSPP doesn't open the .sav file, 
but opens an empty syntax window.
On psppire-data-window.c:457-463 there is:

gchar *name = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (dialog));

if (any_reader_may_open (name))
  psppire_window_load (de, name);
else
  open_syntax_window (name);

According to gtk docs 
(http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtkfilechooser-encodings)
gtk_file_chooser_get_filename doesn't return the filename on utf8.
But it is passed to any_reader_may_open without any conversion. 
any_reader_may_open can't identify any
reader to the file, returns false and pspp thinks the file is a syntax file.

The attached patch may fix it. Sadly I can't compile a windows version 
now, because of a problem on my VM, so I
can't test it. But at least on UTF8 profiles, nothing seems to be 
changed with the patch.
