Ethereal isn't involved in showing the list of file names shown by the 
Open Capture File dialog - that's all done in the GTK+ file chooser 
dialog code.  If it's reading the directory in such a way that the file 
names are in a local code page rather than UTF-8, then there's a bug in 
GTK+ (it should, ideally, be reading them in such a way that you get 
UTF-8, given that the file names are probably stored in Unicode).

Similarly, the file chooser should be returning UTF-8 names.

(Just for fun, I tried creating a directory with a couple of 
o-with-diaresis characters, an aleph, and two Chinese characters on my 
Mac - the file chooser dialog displayed it mostly correctly, although 
the o-with-diaresis character shows up as an o followed by a diaresis; 
that might be due to GTK+ not expecting decomposed characters, that 
being what OS X uses.)
