[Mono-list] Non ASCII characters in file names

[Jörg Rosenkranz]

Thanks for the answers!

Setting LANG is no option for us because the application does not run on 
our own systems. We tried to set G_BROKEN_FILENAMES but the behaviour didn't
change :(

Are there any other settings we need to change to get this working?
