Can't open multiple files in Ubuntu 10.04

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Open any text file in Glasscat
2. Attempt to open any other text file, by way of command line or file manager.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The second file should open in its own window. Instead, nothing happens--the 
second command silently exits much as many other programs that activate a 
previous instance, but the second text ifle doesn't open

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Current (Rev18) SVN, compiled by both Vala 0.7.9 and 0.8.0

After futzing around a bit, I think i've fixed this (at least for me). I'm not 
sure exactly why it works this way, when it doesn't work the current way, but 
it seems to be fine. The patch also asks Glib to uri-encode filenames so that 
filenames with non-ascii characters (ð in my test case) work properly.
