Description Hidetoshi Tajima 2003-09-04 21:32:25 UTC 
When gnome-terminal is run with --title option, the following string 
argument is formatted in locale's native encoding, so should be converted
to UTF-8.

A proposed patch to convert given --title string to UTF-8.
Comment 2 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2003-09-04 22:59:22 UTC 
This patch does half the work: terminal_app_get_clone_command should
undo the conversion into utf-8, as its output will go through the
option parsing routine eventually.

While we are at it, shouldn't we do this for other options too? 
At least --working-directory and --{window,tab}-with-profile come to
mind. Looking at gnome-terminal --help output, those are the ones
taking textual input... I don't know about the argument to --execute.
Comment 3 Kjartan Maraas 2004-09-04 07:31:10 UTC 
Hidetoshi? Could you update the patch according to comment #2?

updated patch

This patch will convert all text input parameters to UTF-8 and when cloning the arguments will undo the convertion for those parameteres where it makes sense (title and working-directory).

Happy birthday, dear patch. :-)
Comment 6 Behdad Esfahbod 2007-01-25 17:47:51 UTC 
Doesn't GOption convert to UTF-8 automatically?
This should be marked as a dupe of "Use GOption" bug for g-t.
Comment 7 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2007-01-25 17:53:16 UTC 
Indeed. We don't have any G_OPTION_FLAG_FILENAME so everything gets utf8ised.

I had meant to mark this as a dup a while ago but forgot about it :/
