The more I think about it, the more I think filenames should be normalized with NFC when created, in addition with checking for existing equivalents for name conflict. The W3C's motivations to NFC as early as possible seem very reasonable. > IMHO the only work needed to handle this is in all filename-selection > widgets, which should do completion based on similar unicode names (like > the fileselector does already for names differing only by case). The Gtk fileselector already offers canonically equivalent names with autocompletion thanks to GtkEntryCompletion already doing the right thing (here normalization and casefolding).
