[Chandler-dev] Failed to convert file contents to Unicode dialog box - FYI

[Mike Taylor]

With the current Chandler trunk when you run Functional Tests or try to 
go to the Accounts dialog you may get a dialog box with the following:

	"Failed to convert file contents to Unicode"

What is happening is that the wx mime-type handler is being initialized 
(because of a xrc dialog request) and it is scanning *many* files to 
pre-load mime-types.  When it gets to a file that seems to only be 
found in Ubuntu Breezy (or systems upgraded from Breezy) it chokes 
because the file is encoded.

For now you can just press Ok and let Chandler continue.

If you are developing and want to work-around the issue, Robin suggests 
adding the following to the chandler startup code:

	wx.log.SetActiveTarget(wx.LogStdErr())
