 Pygi does not set the default encoding anymore as the old GTK+ did. This
 change does break activities ported to GTK+3.
 This topic was discussed in sugar-devel [1]
 The change in GTK+ has been discussed upstream here [2].

 The sugar-toolkit-gtk3 patch was pushed as
 5fdad9481ba7079a6a718159ebe7eb8e5367c46e

 [1] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/archive/sugar-devel/2012-August/038993.html
 [2] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681915

 TestCase:

 1) Set Sugar language to Spanish
 2) Open GetBooks (Obtener Libros)
 3) Select any catalog and one book.

 Without the patch in sugar-toolkit-gtk3, the book description at the
 bottom of the screen is not displayed. This is because the translation of
 "Title" is "Título".
 In the activity log, you can see:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/gonzalo/Activities/GetBooks.activity/GetIABooksActivity.py",
 line 646, in selection_cb
     self.show_book_data()
   File "/home/gonzalo/Activities/GetBooks.activity/GetIABooksActivity.py",
 line 657, in show_book_data
     book_data = _('Title:\t\t') + self.selected_title + '\n'
 UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1:
 ordinal not in range(128)

 With the patch applied in sugar-toolkit-gtk3 the description is displayed
 ok.
