Okay, that explains it.  But playing the devils advocate a bit, does 
this
not simply point out a problem with Emacs, not GTK?  If UTF8_STRING is
the recommended thing to use, changing GTK would not help much, as there
are other X toolkits out there (Qt, Motif, and so on), that will start 
to
use UTF8_STRING also (Qt already does)?
Isn't this an argument for getting the Unicode Emacs branch released, or
unify charsets?
