Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1. Have a folder with greek characters like Παράδειγμα
  2. Have a file called THIS_IS_A_TEST_FOR_GREEK_CHARS inside that folder
  3. Open that file from nautilus so it will show up in the files dash
  4. Open Dash
  5. Go to the files dash
  6. Type THIS_IS_A_TEST_FOR_GREEK_CHARS
  7. Open the file from the dash
     -> Verify the file really opens

  [Regression Potential]
  Dash not opening some files or all possible files at all.

  Original description:

  Since I have upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 64bit i cannot open from
  dash folders with Greek names or files located under folders with
  Greek names (the name of the file does not matter). I click on them,
  the dash disappears but nothing happens. If i open them from nautilus
  it's ok, they are then listed in Dash in recent files but still will
  not open. If i rename the folder from eg Παράδειγμα to Example (Greek
  to Latin) and open it from Nautilus then i can normally open it from
  Dash. The folder is not encrypted and i checked permissions. This
  happens with all file types. At first i thought that it was Dropbox
  fault but apparently is not.
