Well, but I have the compose key working at Linux console too. Moreover,
I tune both the desktop and the console to switch between keyboard
languages similar way.
Hence I actually can work with unicode filenames on the Linux console,
and actually I work with them! But they are MY NATIVE language names (or
just ASCII names, or mixed). The same for gnome-terminal.
I am against the situation when I have to work with "non-ascii &&
non-my-language" unicode characters, independent whether I use Linux
console or GUI terminal emulator.
