Hi Yann, all,
if GCONV_PATH is not exported, xbmc doesn't see it and decoding subtitles
or whatever which have special characters (eg cp1250) fails. Also, w/o
gconv libs XBMC 13.0+ doesn't draw menus etc. I exported GCONV_PATH in xbmc
startup script, but I guess exporting it in profile would also work.
