 Yay, finally got the broken functionality. The wide characters used to
 draw the box around dialogs (for instance the help dialog) were replaced
 by characters and character input was screwed up (for instance, arrows
 were interpreted as a 'q').

 I'm a little worried that the problem really lies between edcde43 and
 3f71b51, with the readline issues masking whatever the real root cause is
 (maybe related). If this turns out to be the case then I'll disable the
 interpretor panel so I can, at least, narrow our woes to that.
