A gtktalog bug or a gtk+-1.2 bug ?
I'll have a look on what widget is used there. But I think it is a gtktalog 
bug: the
function that reads the CD label is a hack that works well, but I think it has 
only be
tested with ISO8859-1 disks.

I need your help to try to fix such a bug... Could you send me such a CD ?
I mean, could you make a small CD iso that you could send me by mail ? Without 
it, I
don't know how I could try to fix such a bug?
