Hi,

According to /usr/share/doc/libgtk2.0-0/README.gz:

" If you have filenames encoded in the encoding of your locale, then
  you may want to set the G_FILENAME_ENCODING environment variable:

   G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@local
   export G_FILENAME_ENCODING"

Planned for the next release.

-> "System level changes (change immediately as Hoary is opened)
* UTF-8 from the ground up"


> Before I install Ubuntu, I was under Debian sid, with fr_FR.UTF-8 at euro

UTF-8 at euro is a bug since UTF-8 has an euro symbol, you should use
fr_FR.UTF-8 (http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1755)
