"Unknown encoding" error when launching Rednotebook

[முரளி (murali)]

Below is the log displayed when running Rednotebook from command line. FYI, I use Tamil (ta) as system language.
I could make the rednotebook run successfully by changing line no. 61 to "locale_encoding = 'UTF-8'" in "/usr/share/rednotebook/rednotebook/util/dates.py". Let us fix this permanently.
