nsWindow::SetTitle() in the GTK code (see above URL) has a static variable to
store the Unicode converter.  That never allows the nsIUnicodeEncoder to get
deallocated.  This is bad for our embedding story.  This can be seen by running
viewer or mozilla-bin and looking at the XPCOM_MEM_LEAK_LOG for 'nsBasicEncoder'

toshi- can you help to fix this ? We need to release that converter when the DLL 
is unload. dp and pavolv, can you folks tell toshi how can we plug in code which 
will be called when the gtkwidget dll get unloaded ?

One way to solve this is to move this local static to a class static, add a 
class object ref count in constructor and destructor. and in destructor, if the 
ref count == 0, rleaes it if it is not null.
