Comment:

 I don't think this is our problem:
 {{{
 >>> str(u'\u03a3')
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u03a3' in
 position 0: ordinal not in range(128)
 >>> import gtk
 >>> str(u'\u03a3')
 '\xce\xa3'
 }}}
 gtk apparently changes Python's default encoding, which is a dirty hack.
