encode window title to locale encoding for metacity-dialog (1.07 KB, patch)

Description Frederic Crozat 2007-08-02 09:55:25 UTC 
Since the switch to g_option, when used with non-UTF8 locale, "Force Quit" dialog mangles window names which are not ASCII. This is because g_option is calling g_locale_to_utf8 on every string parameter.

Attached patch fixes this issue by encoding window title to locale encoding for metacity-dialog call.

for the record, I'm seeing it with fr_FR.ISO-8859-1

Looks simple enough, and I though I can't test I'm going to assume you have.  Thanks, Frederic!
