Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Got this error again today. The file I'm editing has 100% been created with gedit, so its surprising that I can edit, save, and then not be able to open the file.

My solution to the problem:
iconv -f 'UTF-8' -t 'ASCII//IGNORE' -o output-file-name --verbose input-file-name

The -t 'ASCII//IGNORE' option insures that the offensive characters will be discarded from the output, and the --verbose option tells you where they were in the file.

Buddy the solution is so simple u just have to :
1-Right-Click on the application and chose Properties
2-Go to Permissions Tap and chuck "Allow executing file as program"
3-Close the window and run the program and chose run when promoted

And here you go you will be able to use it
I've Tested it with Crossover 9.1 on Ubuntu 10.04.1 and it worked with me hope it work with you.
