Problem with category description (xea files) and special characters

[Geert Janssens]

Ok. I suspect there will be several of these small charset related 
issues that will be fixed in trunk. This is likely because I have 
removed the old gnome_init in favour of the newer gtk_init. That already 
fixed double-clicking a file on Windows in non-UTF-8 environments and 
now also fixes a loading bug in xea files.

I can't easily backport this to 2.4, because it is not a trivial patch. 
So in the Windows users will unfortunately have to wait for 2.6 to see 
these improvements.
