ok, UTF8 thing is driving me nuts

I updated my mysql server to version 4.1.12 (latest in ubuntu 5.1). I
also set the default character set to utf8 in the /etc/mysql/my.cnf for
both mysqld and mysql sections. In mysql, I can do this:

mysql> show variables like "char%";
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| Variable_name            | Value                      |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
| character_set_client     | utf8                       |
| character_set_connection | utf8                       |
| character_set_database   | utf8                       |
| character_set_results    | utf8                       |
| character_set_server     | utf8                       |
| character_set_system     | utf8                       |
| character_sets_dir       | /usr/share/mysql/charsets/ |
+--------------------------+----------------------------+
7 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Yet, when I launch mysql-administrator and attempt to connect to my
server (which is localhost on my machine) as the root user, I STILL get:

Character set 'utf8' is not a compiled character set and is not
specified in the '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index' file

So, this is bogus since mysql reports that utf8 is being used. why do I
still get this idiotic error? Yes, I've restarted mysqld after changing
configurations.
