gnome-screenshot does not display accented characters correctly

[Ritesh Khadgaray]

[Impact]

There is an issue where the German "Umlaute" (ä, ü, etc) are not displayed correctly in some cases in gnome-screenshot. This is affecting the polish of Ubuntu.

[Test Case]
- mkdir -p Arbeitsfläche
- Take a screenshot.
- Save under Arbeitsfläche/screenshot.png (or any folder name with a accented character (eg, Genève)).
- Take a second screenshot.
- Save under the same name in Arbeitsfläche/screenshot.png.
- The following messagebox comes up: see attached screenshot

[Regression Potential]
- none that I could foresee

[Other Info]
- Patch has been posted to upstream, but I doubt this will see any traction given that gnome-shell uses its own interface for this.
