Fix locale for grip?

In Fedora Core 3, grip 3.2.0 and 3.3.0 insists on writing filenames using
UTF-8 even though I have

$ locale
LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=C

both when compiling it and when running it.  I need it to use iso-8859-1
for the filenames, as gtkpod (and my iPod) doesn't understand UTF-8.
Certain characters (like æ, ø, å) end up in the weird two-byte
representation instead of their proper iso-8859-1 encoding.

Setting the locale to en_US doesn't do any good either since it seems to
default to a UTF-8 encoding.

I've even set the locale in Config => ID3/DiscDB to ISO-8859-1, but to no
avail - grip still writes file names using UTF-8.  Looking through the
archives, I have tried to set G_FILENAME_ENCODING=@locale but that did no
good.

Grip worked fine in RH9, so I suspect it has something to do with FC 3.
If anyone has any pointers or help on how I can make Grip write filenames
in ISO-8859-1 encoding, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Bjorn.
