Bug Description
Binary package hint: gedit
(Related to bug #58458)
In Gutsy:
1- Select the following text in Firefox: 中文
2- Drag and it to a Gedit window.
3- Notice that strange characters appear.
And I am not very sure if this is a general Gtk bug, because actually I can drag the chinese characters from Firefox to an Evolution or OpenOffice window.
Also, notice that if I drag the characters from a KDE application like Kate they are correctly represented in Gedit.

I can replicate this bug. Note that copy & paste to gedit seems to work fine, it's just drag & drop that doesn't. Further, once the characters are represented correctly in gedit, they can be dragged and dropped to other the Epiphany location bar, Terminal, and Pidgin without difficulties. Further, dragging from Epiphany to Pidgin to gedit works as expected. Within Epihany, dragging '中文' to a textarea works, but dragging from Pidgin or gedit results in '\u4e2d\u6587'.
