Can't handle non-ascii folder names

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create a directory named vidéos
2. cd vidéos
3. go -a vids

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Should add a shortcut but instead I get the following exception traceback:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.2.1 on Ubuntu 9.10 and Python 2.6.4

Oh and when you try to add a folder with non-ascii characters, it also clears 
the
users shortcuts.xml file which deletes all the other shortcuts and makes go
subsequently throw exceptions on every invocation because it can't parse the
shortcuts xml.
