I believe this stems from the commented line #72 in commongtk.py: 

    #~ s=s.encode('ascii','ignore')

It got commented in r300, but I don't know whether it was voluntarily or by 
mistake. 

Simply uncomment it and it should work as expected.

That's it, well done.
I just hope this will not awaike an old bug.

I don't think so, I had made and tested the patch for r300 with that line 
uncommented and it seemed to work fine. I suppose it got commented by mistake 
when the patch was applied, but you could check with manatlan about it.
