I doubt that you have filenames other than in your locale codeset or UTF-8. You appear to have some of each - you probably created files with Nautilus and because you did not have G_FILENAME_ENCODING or G_BROKEN_FILENAMES set it made the name in UTF-8, and all your others (including those you created via the console) are in your locale codeset. > It would be nice to figure out in my program for /each/ file I read, in > which character set it is encoded.

However, as you say you can look at the Nautilus source code.
