what's wrong with:

char* title:
basename = g_path_get_basename(existing_filename);
title = g_strdup_printf("Subsurface: %s", basename);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(main_window), title);
free(basename);
free(title);

does it matter if any of these strings are utf8 or not? at the end they
are just a null-terminated char buffer and you are not relying on a
particular string (not char buffer) length in that very use case
