importing gtk breaks unicode loading

Description

The following summarizes it pretty well, I guess: 

>>> import yaml
>>> u = u"\N{skull and crossbones}"
>>> yaml.load(yaml.dump(u))
u'\u2620'
>>> import gtk
>>> yaml.load(yaml.dump(u))
'\xe2\x98\xa0'

Ok, I looked a little closer and the problem seems to be that pygtk changes the default encoding and yaml relies on this: 

>>> import sys
>>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
'ascii'
>>> import gtk
>>> sys.getdefaultencoding()
'utf-8'

I think GTK shouldn't do that but I'll try to prepare a patch for PyYAML anyways.

Make conversion explicit and not reliant on default encoding. Ensure behaviour as documented in PyYAMLDocumentation#Stringconversion
