When I browse into a directory (via gnome vfs smb://) with files with non-ASCII
names, Mozilla doesn't list files with non-ASCII names. Actually, it seems like
it stops at the first file with non-ASCII chacters in its name. 

It's on FC1 (with gnome-vfs 1.0.5 and gnome-vfs2 2.4.1). smbclient and smbmount
don't have any poroblem dealing with those files.
My debug build emits the following warning for each file whose name has non-
ASCII characters:

-1085089664[912f548]: WARNING: UnEscapeAndConvert error, file /prj/moz/src/
mozilla/netwerk/streamconv/converters/nsDirIndexParser.cpp, line 309
WARNING: UnEscapeAndConvert error, file /prj/moz/src/mozilla/netwerk/streamconv/
converters/nsDirIndexParser.cpp, line 309

That warning is fired when | gTextToSubURI->UnEscapeAndConvert(mEncoding.get(),
filename.get()| fails.

I think it's the 'smb' part of GnomeVFS that is to blame. It should work like
Win 2k/XP instead of acting like Win9x/ME, but it seems to behave like Win 9x/ME
as a samba client. My samba server has 'display charset' and 'unix charset' set
to 'utf-8' while 'dos charset' is set to CP949 (because there are a few Korean
win 9x/ME clients on the network).
 
According to the samba manual [1],  Win 2k/XP doesn't care about 'dos charset'
and the communication between samba server and Win 2k/XP samba client is
entirely done in 'Unicode'. Apparently, GnomeVFS refers to 'dos charset' part
(of course, it can't directly refer to the value, but presumably uses what's
exposed by the samba server which corresponds to 'dos charset' ). I found that
'filename' is url-encoded CP949 and 'mEncoding' is UTF-8

| gTextToSubURI->UnEscapeAndConvert(mEncoding.get(), filename.get()|

I'll try the cvs version of GnomeVFS and see if it's  fixed there.
