Obvious? Some of us aren't using Linux, let alone GNOME.

My suggestion would be to start by picking one of the several UTF-8 
preprocessors that have floated across the list   lately, and include it in 
groff. Perhaps it's a little late to do for 1.19.2, but the next update could 
include it. That should give manpage writers a start and take some of the 
pressure off Werner, giving him time to really do it right. But Werner is 
probably going to end up doing most of the work, so it's his call in the end.
