sugar-toolkit-gtk3: utf8 srings in gtk3 apps conflict

[godiard]

Pygi does not set the default encoding anymore as the old GTK+ did. This change does break activities ported to GTK+3.
This topic was discussed in sugar-devel [1]
The change in GTK+ has been discussed upstream here [2].

The sugar-toolkit-gtk3 patch was pushed as 5fdad9481ba7079a6a718159ebe7eb8e5367c46e

TestCase:

1) Set Sugar language to Spanish
2) Open GetBooks (Obtener Libros)
3) Select any catalog and one book.

Without the patch in sugar-toolkit-gtk3, the book description at the bottom of the screen is not displayed. This is because the translation of "Title" is "Título".
In the activity log, you can see:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/gonzalo/Activities/GetBooks.activity/GetIABooksActivity.py", line 646, in selection_cb

self.show_book_data()

File "/home/gonzalo/Activities/GetBooks.activity/GetIABooksActivity.py", line 657, in show_book_data

book_data = _('Title:\t\t') + self.selected_title + '\n'

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

With the patch applied in sugar-toolkit-gtk3 the description is displayed ok.
