[LIP] Reading UTF-8 files in GTK+

Dear LIP,

I have a need to read in a UTF-8 text file into a text area in a
simple GTK+ application. Now, I know that UTF-8 is working fine, since
if I open the file in UTF-8, the characters show up properly. However,
whenever I try it in my application, whenever a UTF-8 file is loaded,
I get the following message:

(llf_utf:19274): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_text_buffer_emit_insert:
assertion `g_utf8_validate (text, len, NULL)' failed

How am I to read UTF-8 files and display thm the right way? As of
now, I am using g_file_get_contents and have tried g_convert, but it
fails. What do I do?

Thanks.

Kumar
