While RC worked fine on Latin-1 encodings in the HTML portions of the
app, they didn't work at all for other encodings.  What we did was
changed the strings marked with _() to U_() (which is in gal) and
changed the gtkhtml widgets to use UTF-8 as the default locale.  The
gettextize script only pulled out strings marked with _() and N_(), so
those strings which were previously translated no longer worked in 1.2. 
I've patched the process so that U_() is also pulled out in 1.2.1.
