Just use my_utf_string() on any non-utf8 string you find is added to the
treeview.

I *did* put something to that effect in my last commit. 
src/add_file.c, line 186, should read: 
DATE_COLUMN, my_utf_string(time_string(en->st->st_mtime))

OT: I haven't been able to test with LANG=fr_FR because I get:

(process:17540): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
        Using the fallback 'C' locale.

Anybody have an idea what I have to do in order to get C library support
for additional locales?
