+Subject: [PATCH] Force GduPresentable ids to be UTF-8 (#616198)
+
+GduPresentable created in gdu pool include intheir id some strings
+in local encoding like _("Peripheral Devices"). This patch
+enforces them to be UTF-8.
+
+This fixes a crash of gvfs-gdu-volume-monitor when USB devices are
+available on a non UTF-8 system.
