NEdit doesn't support UTF-8.  This also means, you can't open files
with file names encoded in UTF-8 (containing characters outside 7bit
ASCII).  I think the messages just tell you some UTF-8 encoded
characters are tried to be displayed in the open dialog, which won't
work. (One of the first things I do with any Linux installation is
to stop Unicode mode, since I just don't need it.)
