He's suggesting that instead of passing unclean data, that you convert 
it to Unicode yourself, possibly removing some expected bad characters 
yourself (a NUL might well terminate the string in GTK's C-based view 
of things).  For example, from the Python command line:

>>> '\200'.decode('utf-8', 'replace')
u'\ufffd'
>>> '\200'.decode('utf-8', 'ignore')
u''
>>> '\200'.decode('utf-8', 'strict')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode
    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x80 in position 0: 
unexpected code byte
