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.
