[issue1028] Tkinter binding involving Control-spacebar raises unicode error

[Tangaroa]

Tangaroa <jsprunck at yahoo.com> added the comment:

Python 3.1.2, Ubuntu (Lucid)

Caused by Control + Shift + Spacebar 

Debugger output from terminal: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/idle-python3.1", line 5, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.1/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 1420, in main
    root.mainloop()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.1/tkinter/__init__.py", line 1012, in mainloop
    self.tk.mainloop(n)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: illegal encoding

Will try the patch.
