I'm aware of the different versions of the gettext() functions, but I 
prefer sticking with unicode.
I suppose I'll file a bug report, even if the severity of the problem is 
low, since it can be easily worked around.
BTW, my project is an open source mapper for roleplaying games, using 
Cairo and GTK+ through Python:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/hectormapper/
I must say using PyGTK has been very fun.
Thank you,
