Bug: Crashes on files with encodings not being UTF-8

[phil]

Gobby should not crash with a segmentation fault when one tries to open files not encoded in UTF-8. Instead it should either check the document for UTF-8 validity and prompt the user for the right encoding if it does not match, and translate it appropriately, or just refuse to open it (but the former would be more acceptable than the latter).

Would love see this one fixed!

I tried to edit some MoinMoin? python source code and it crashed, crashed, crashed.

Well, all files were (c) Ju:rgen Hermann and iso-8859-1 encoding...

Just use iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 [file] > file.utf-8 for now. But it will be fixed for Gobby 0.2.0.
